v6.c42.s1.52
The final volume of sketches and drawings helps to make clear the main contents of the *Mānasāra*. It speaks in a language that will be universally understood, and the work as a whole should facilitate the classification of Indian architecture in general. Both the northern style and its southern counterpart are very well brought out in Dr. Acharya's work, though special reference to one or the other is limited. The unity of the whole is thereby emphasized, and even without technical knowledge of the subject the ordinary reader should be enabled to grasp something of the significance of Hindu art. Laws which have remained too long unwritten are now brought to light for the instruction of this generation in an ancient culture.
