v1.c7.s1.7
In the ‘Īśānaśivagurudevapaddhati’, Part V. Ch. XXXII. 86-89, about the same time, the South Indian type of temples is said to be ‘saṃcita’, ‘asaṃcita’ and ‘upasaṃcita’ according to its ‘density’, and is considered male, female or neuter, respectively. In the first instance it is built of stone or brick, in the second of brick or wood, and lastly of brick and wood combined. These terms however have a much wider meaning in other southern texts, such as ‘Mayamata’, XX.. 31 f. and the ‘Mānasāra’.
