v4.c29.s5.107
The *Suprabhedāgama* has devoted only fifteen chapters to architecture and sculpture. But its uniqueness consists in the fact that it has quite successfully summarised all important matters in a comparatively small space, and in respect of brevity, explicitness and precision it surpasses even the *Brihat-saṁhitā* of Varāhamihira. Its similarities with the *Mānasāra* has shewn that it must have drawn upon a text on *Śilpa-śāstra*.³
