v1.c56.35

It may be remarked that these terms should not be viewed objectively, they are used in a subjective sense to suggest the organic unity in architecture and to make temple breath life at every point. The architectural canons like the Chandas (the Rythm) and the avoidance of Marma-vedha etc. so much emphasised in the texts, also point to the same truth.
