³ *Jayamaṅgalā* commentary on Vātsyāyana’s *Kāmasūtra* quotes a beautiful verse, apparently from a *Śilpa śāstra* about the six great requisites of painting, viz., “knowledge of appearances, correct perception, measure and structure of forms, action of feelings on forms, infusion of grace or artistic representation, similitude and artistic manner of using brush and colours.” See *Modern Review*, 1914, pp. 581-2.
