The text of the Samarāṅgaṇa Sūtradhāra is full of prescriptions and the illustrations thereof in the different categories of the temples enumerated therein. I may also point out here that as the Samarāṅgaṇa Sūtradhāra belongs to the eleventh century, the medieval period of Indian history, many a new type of temple had arisen in consonance with the rise of the temple as a sacred institution itself, a notice of which has already been taken in a previous chapter of this part.
