(18) The Sorab Taluq Inscriptions (no. 261 f.) have reference to Nāgara-khaṇḍa and its pompous buildings (temples), picturesque gardens and other natural and artificial beauties. From these it may be inferred that the buildings of Nāgara-khaṇḍa possessed, as stated in the *Mānasāra*, a distinct style of architecture like those of the Drāviḍa and Vesara countries.
