The publication of P. K. Acharya’s massive *Indian Architecture According to the Mānasāra-śilpaśāstra* (1928) and *A Dictionary of Hindu Architecture* (1927), however, helped further focus Coomaraswamy’s attention on the availability of textual sources and the problems in establishing a general terminology. These he addressed in his review of Acharya’s volumes in the *Journal of the American Oriental Society*, 48, entitled “Indian Architectural Terms” (1928), which we reprint below, pp. 72-99.
