v7.c44.12

‘Students of Indian architecture should be grateful to him (*author*) for accomplishing with such thoroughness a task which has been long overdue, and which must have entailed a tremendous amount of patient and often disinteresting work, in a number of different languages. The *Dictionary of Hindu Architecture* contains all the architectural terms used in the *Mānasāra* and in the known *Vāstu-śāstras*, published inscriptions and other archaeological records with full references and explanations.’²
