v2.c13.s1.61

Further shapes of temples are specified (verses 111-123). Following the eighth group, they do not form a particular group. The temple Sāmānya is conspicuous by its name. It has one Śikhara. Another temple is Suguha; it has a Guhā at its back. It is followed (verse 122) by the Prāsāda Triguṇa (cf. verse 33) which may be a misnomer for Triguha : it has three Guṇas (Guhās?). Further combinations of the various constituent elements are given each their own names: a pillared Himavān is called Nandaka (verse 123), etc.
