The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Shilpashastra (iconography)
: archive.org: Illustrations of Indian Music and Dance in Western Indian Styleվśṛt (विश्वभृत�) refers to a type of ū (melodic mode), and its illustration as a Goddess (according to 15th-century Indian art) is as follows.—The colour of her body is golden. She holds a ñᾱ with both hands. She wears a bodice of rosy colour with golden borders. Her scarf is of rosy colour with a crimson-coloured design. She wears a trouser of dark-green colour bearing black design and a golden border.
The illustrations (of, for example վśṛt) are found scattered throughout ancient Jain manuscripts from Gujarat. The descriptions of these illustrations of this ٰ屹ī are based on the śǰ첹 of Vācanācārya Gaṇi Sudhākalaśa’s Saṅgītopaniṣatsāroddhāra (14th century) and Śārṅgadeva’s Saṅgītaratnākara (13th century).

Shilpashastra (शिल्पशास्त्र, śilpaśāstra) represents the ancient Indian science (shastra) of creative arts (shilpa) such as sculpture, iconography and painting. Closely related to Vastushastra (architecture), they often share the same literature.
