v7.c49.36
Professor Acharya does not confine himself to a description and summary of the contents of the *Mānasāra*, but gives us references to architecture in the ancient epics, the *Purāṇas* and other works and a résumé of the contents of many other *Śilpa-śāstras*. He also ventures upon a long discussion about the similarity between the *Mānasāra* and Vitruvius, which he appears to think had some connexion the one with the other.
