Again, of all these treatises, only the *Mānasāra* and the *Āgamas* refer to certain highly technical and purely architectural matters. Thus in the *Mānasāra* we find the measurements and other details of 64 varieties of bases divided into nineteen classes,¹ called (1) *pāda-bandha*, (2) *uraga-bandha*, (3) *prati-krama*, (4) *kumuda-bandha*, (5) *padma-kesara*, (6) *pushpa-pushkala*, (7) *śrī-bandha*, (8) *mañcha-bandha*, (9) *śreṇī-bandha*, (10) *padma-bandha*, (11) *kumbha-bandha*, (12) *vapra-bandha*, (13) *vajra-bandha*, (14) *śrī-bhoga*, (15) *ratna-bandha*, (16) *paṭṭa-bandha*, (17) *kukshi-bandha*, (18) *kampa-bandha*, and (19) *śrī-kānta*.
