Vastu-shastra (Vol. I: Hindu Science of Architecture; Vol. II: Hindu Canons of Iconography and Painting) v2.c72.22

v2.c72.22

The third major contribution which the author can present to the scholarly world in this realm of Iconography is the preparation of a systematic anthology of Pratimā-lakṣaṇas in about ten thousand lines wherein, not only the traditional lakṣaṇas of the different deities are presented (vide II Khaṇḍa with eight parts) but the canons of iconography are also included (vide its I Khaṇḍa). The presentation of the material of the recently discovered texts like the S. S. and the A. P. as well so many other texts should also not go without credit.
