N.B.鈥擜ll these varieties again having superior, medium and inferior, the three qualities result in as many as one hundred and eight (厂补尘补谤腻峁単补峁嘺蝉奴迟谤补诲丑腻谤补 Chapter 60.91-92).
We have already taken notice of these twenty temples, common to all ancient sources like 痴颈艣惫补办补谤尘补-辫谤补办腻艣补, 惭补迟蝉测补辫耻谤腻峁嘺, 叠峁沨补迟蝉补峁僪颈迟腻 and 叠丑补惫颈峁补-辫耻谤腻峁嘺. The 厂补尘补谤腻峁単补峁嘺-蝉奴迟谤补诲丑腻谤补, the most representative work of the Hindu science of Architecture, while developing these 笔谤腻蝉腻诲补蝉 on the characteristic style of the age, the 尝腻峁璦 Style, does assign to these twenty temples, the traditional types of the 狈腻驳补谤补 style, a separate place in its contents on the 笔谤腻蝉腻诲补-惫腻蝉迟耻. The second variety of these 狈腻驳补谤补 笔谤腻蝉腻诲补蝉 are in my opinion, the minor types which grew in the country-side rather than in the town, the shrines of the 笔补帽肠腻测补迟补苍补 classes of temples.
