Shilpashastra (iconography)

: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (shilpa)

Streams should adorn Mountains in a painting, following the guidelines of ancient Indian Painting (citra), according to the Vi峁ａ箛udharmottarapur膩峁嘺, an ancient Sanskrit text which (being encyclopedic in nature) deals with a variety of cultural topics such as arts, architecture, music, grammar and astronomy.鈥擳he Vi峁ａ箛udharmottarapur膩峁嘺 bears an elaborate description on the process of making the picture of some natural objects and phenomenon. According to the Vi峁ａ箛udharmottarapur膩峁嘺, the picture of mountain should be adorned with plenty of rocks, peaks, metals, trees, streams and snakes. [...]. Thus, the Vi峁ａ箛udharmottarapur膩峁嘺 addresses various elements of nature, such as mountain streams, since painting has much connection with time, mood and activity.

The [mind] is quickly overcome by these [methods of restraint] like the dust of the earth by streams [of water] (诲丑腻谤腻)鈥�.
