The next objection may be one concerning the *Gopuras*, *Prākāras* and such other objects which have been exhaustively described in the *Mānasāra*. These are undeniably the peculiarities of southern architecture. This objection may be easily disposed of. There seem to be sufficient reasons to hold that the account of architecture in the *Mānasāra* has reference to buildings of all parts of India, comprising the northern, southern and eastern styles. The southern style might be as elaborately described as the northern or eastern, even when the *Mānasāra* was compiled under the patronage of a northern emperor.
