v7.c49.67

Two appendices containing enumerations of the important Sanskrit treatises on Architecture and of historical architects, enhance the value of the book. May we request the learned lexicographer to add a special appendix of the technical terms and names scattered in the various living vernaculars of India where we find, as in Orissa (*cf.* Nirmal Bose : *Konarak*), native architects still constructing according to their *vernacular Vāstu-śāstras* or even conserving a rich tradition in *bhasā* vocabulary (oral or textual).
