v4.c29.s5.84
Thus it has been concluded in the writer's *Indian Architecture* that “most of the architectural treatises, whether or not ascribed to an author, historical or mythical, are but compilations. Some of these have actually acknowledged the sources drawn upon, while others have not.” The *Mānasāra* itself is a compilation but it is the standard work on the subject because it is the most complete, scientific and probably the oldest extant record. It has thus influenced all others directly or indirectly.¹
