there is a long story as to how he relinquished the horse in the first instance and then irritated by a he cut off 's head which was restored by a who happened to be with far at that moment. We are not concerned with the happenings at Manipur, the country of बभ्रुवाहन, but it is clear that Manipur is referred to by " बभ्रुसंज्ञितम् ". It may be further added that ideas, institutions, etc., stick on due to a spirit of conservatism which is not an uncommon feature of the Indians or rather of all nations, however civilized they might be. "The conjectural criticism of classical scholarship" apart, the terms for so far as the geometric forms are concerned start with a square ( चतुरश्र ), and as the चनुरत्रायत, वृत्त, वृत्तायत and I are derived from the square form; a is considered to be the basic unit-parental form with other forms as derivations therefrom.
नागर - द्राविड-वेसर
तलच्छन्द = Arrangement or disposition of the ground plan.
According to writers of the Southern School of Architecture, the quadrangularity of the ground plan is the determinant of the arm style while hexagonality is that of the af school. This restriction to the form of the ground plan is not accepted by writers of the Northern School. Take for example, au-; King Bhoja Deva in 38th on lays down as many as forty shapes for the ground plan of the at school and also prescribes their assignment to the different grades of populace.
For facility of construction, however, all these forms of the ground plan are reduced to five only, viz. वैराज्य square, पुष्पक rectangular, कैलास circular, मणिक ellipsoidal and त्रिविष्टप octangonal. वैराज्य is considered as the primary unit for these forms and it is that unit from which the rest of the forms have emerged.
ae, it may be incidentally observed, is internal and external, the former comprises the गर्भगृह, its dividing walls, भ्रमणी or अन्धारिका and the outer walls thereto; and the latter includes the different as of the प्रासादs viz. भद्र, मुखभद्र, प्रतिभद्र, नन्दिक, कणिका, प्रत्यङ्ग, वारिमार्ग, प्रतिकर्ण, कर्ण etc.
1. Note:-The sins of are of two kinds (1)
and (2)
(1) 6 –These include such constituent parts as are necessary for the different functions in the constructional aspects of structures. These 3S, in the नागर School of architecture are भद्र, मुखभद्र, प्रतिभद्र, उपभद्र, कर्ण, प्रतिकर्ण, रथ, प्रतिरथ, उपरथ, नन्दी, वारिमार्ग, कोणिका, नन्दका etc. and are shown above.
(2)
-This represents devices or formulas for the adjustment of dimensions (Length, Breadth, Height etc. of structures) for facility of calculations and for the determination of certain horoscopical aspects.
Theses are as many as 27 in the School of architecture (not so many in the Dravidian School).
alegas 2, Verses 1 te 82 describe in detail these s; also cf. araaza.
