v2.c76.31
The exposition of plasters and ointments is made in the sixth chapter, and the seventh chapter deals with the most important canon of paining—the colours and their delineations—the light and shade through the principle of Kṣaya and Vṛddhi. An attempt is made here to fully classify the various tints in the light of not only the canonical texts but also other sources, notably the poetic works of poets like Bāṇa.
