THE EIGHTH GROUP. The eighth group (verses 101-111) comprises temples whose Maṇḍapas are essentially part of their plan. The temple Kailāsa heads the list. It has 5 Śikharas, 4 Maṇḍapas and 4 doors. The Maṇḍapas being in the four directions, the entrances at the cardinal points, this cross shaped temple would have one central Śikhara and each Maṇḍapa would have a lesser Śikhara of its own. The shapes of these Śikharas are not given.⁸
