Some few sections only of this work are to be now met with; and the portion which has as yet come under my own observation, is exclusively on the subject of sculpture as connected with the formation of statues; but it is so diffuse, that if we suppose the whole work to be written in a similar style, it must considerably exceed the volume of \*Mánasára\*, the largest at present of my collection. - [Previous: c4.14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.raz-1834.c4.14) - [Next: c4.16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.raz-1834.c4.16) - [Up: c4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.raz-1834.c4) ## Cites (3) - [Mānasāra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.art.silpa.dravida.manasara) — Sanskrit - [Purāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana) — Sanskrit - [Sakalādhikāra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.art.silpa.dravida.sakaladhikara) — Agastya, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.raz-1834.c4.15](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.raz-1834.c4.15) · Pramāṇa
