In the year 1914 a young Sanskrit scholar from Bengal, Mr. Prasanna Kumar Acharya, ‘induced by youthful enthusiasm,’ undertook the gigantic task of editing and translating the standard work on Indian architecture of which Ram Raz had only published a résumé. The Essay is, moreover, based on a single manuscript containing only fifty-eight chapters, whereas the whole *Vāstu-śāstra* now published consists of seventy chapters.
