Line 75 (एतत्पदस्थितानां सर्वदेवानां रूपमुच्यते) should be read between lines 154 and 155. The points of great importance to note are:—(i) only the 8th and 9th plans are described in detail and (ii) the *Brihat-Saṁhitā*, the *Mayamata* and other treatises dealing with the subject have described only these two schemes. An attempt has been made elsewhere to explain the occurrence of these two schemes in detail, both in the *Mānasāra* and the *Bṛihat-Saṁhitā*. (See the writer's *Indian Architecture*, p. 162 and the note under Translation of lines 71–75).
