The *Āgamas* like the *Purāṇas* are encyclopaedic works dealing with heterogenous subjects, the ultimate object in both cases being the worship of the Triad. The twenty-eight chief *gamas*, like the eighteen great *Purāṇas* deal incidentally with architectural and sculptural objects. But the contribution of the former is much more extensive and valuable to these subjects.
