v7.c47.4307
From the abstracts given above, it will be clear that this chapter of the *Suprabhedāgama* deals with all the essential parts of a temple, which in the *Mānasāra*, including the residential buildings, occupy a space of twenty-eight chapters (XIII to XXXIX, XLVI). The description of this Āgama, though brief, is very explicit and to the point. The language also of the *Suprabhedāgama* is much better than most of the architectural treatises I have consulted.
