v7.c49.41
In Section IV, Dr. Acharya discusses the possible relationship between the *Mānasāra* and the well-known treatise of Vitruvius. He deals at length with the similarities not only in contents and treatment, but also in style, between the two works, and declines ‘to attribute all these affinities to mere chance.’ This is a particularly interesting chapter.
