v6.c42.s1.39
As many towns and villages in Bihar will have to be reconstructed, all those who are directly and indirectly connected with the work of reconstruction should have their attention drawn to the ancient Indian ideas of village-planning, town-planning, and architecture in general. They are to be found in Professor Dr. P. K. Acharya’s masterly edition of the ancient standard Sanskrit work *Mānasāra* in five sumptuous volumes. Those who do not know Sanskrit need not think that the work will not be of any use to them. For Dr. Acharya has given a full English translation of the work with critical notes. There are also numerous plates, which will help architects, engineers, and builders in their work.
