Sources of Architectural Canons 255 enumerated by the Agni Pura峁嘺 it self. The chapters on
Vastuvidya dealt with by the Garuda Purana are identical with
those of the Agni-Purana. This will lead to belive, as
Dr. Bhattacharya has conjectured, that the fountain head of
both these pur膩峁嘺s might be Haya艣ira峁�a-Pancar膩tra.
The Skanda Pur膩峁嘺* (9th-10th Cent. A. D )92
It is also known as Kum膩ra-Pur膩na. It devotes three
chapters to the subject of V膩stu and Silpa. Its expatiation on
the laying of a large city are of particular interest. Golden
hall, chariots and Kal膩ya峁嘺 ma峁囜笉apa form the principal subjects
of the other two chapters. In a summary manner this pur膩峁嘺
also treats the subject of painting.
The Garuda Pur膩峁嘺* ( 10th-11th Cent. A. D. )93
It has two chapters (XLVI-XLVII) on architecture and
two (XLV-XLVIII) on sculpture. These chapters as stated
above, are identical with those of Agni Pur膩峁嘺. But its chief
contribution is the discussion of Salagr膩ma images, given in
艢膩l膩grama-m奴rti-lak峁�a峁嘺 (XLV ).
The Bhavi峁�ya Pur膩峁嘺* (11th cent. A. D. ) 94
This Purana has four chapters, three (XII, CXXXI-CXXXII)
being devoted to sculpture and one (ch. CXXX) to the temple
architecture ( Pr膩s膩da-lak峁�a峁嘺-var峁嘺na ), in which it describes
like Matsya-Pur膩峁嘺, twenty varieties of temples under
three heads.
