देवतामूर्ति-प्रकरणम् .
All praise to that Universal Power who has given form to Brahma, Vedic knowledge, the Adityas, moon and constellations etc., and the guardians of the different directions. We bow before Vishnu, the Preserver, who looks after this universe. (67).
Here ends the fourth chapter of the treatise on architecture - the Devata Murti Prakarnam - composed by Sutrabhrin Mandan, son of Kshetra, in which the form of idols dedicated to Brahma, Surya, the Nava-grahas, and the Keepers of the directions, and so forth, have been discussed.
