**Viṣṇudharmottaram.**—It is a supplement or Appendix to Viṣṇu-purāṇa. It is the earliest text dealing with the technique and theory of Indian painting. "Part III of Viṣṇudharmottara gives the fullest account hitherto known of the various branches, methods and ideals of Indian painting"—Kramrisch. Scholars like prof. Stella Kramrisch contend this work to be of the 7th century A.D.—vide her Introduction to the Translation of the V.D. Pt. III.
