The Main Source or Sources of Canonical Principles 479 and also gives a special treatment of the ma峁囜笉apa. Thus the
pre-Caulukyan temples reflect the canons given in Sm. Su
Some of the Caulukyan
the Caulukyan
temples contain one or three
ardhamandapas added to their mandapas. These are treated in
detail under the head of Trikama峁囜笉apa in APPR. The
Subhadra variety found in the Brahmnical temples and even
the other varieties like Kiriti, Pr膩nta etc. are treated elaborately
in APPR.
A number of the old temples in Gujarat contain pradak峁�i峁嚹�-
pathas. The early works make a reference to the pradak峁�i峁嚹�
patha but ratio of its width is met with only in Sm. Su. and
other canonical works. Ratios found in the extant temples well
apply to those prescribed in Sm. Su. and APPR. as well.
In the case of the vertical treatment of the base some of the
pre-Caulukyan temples contain certain mouldings. The early works
are silent on this topic. The Sm. Su. prescribes some mouldings
of the base but they hardly apply to the extant temples of the
pre-Caulukyan or even of the Caulukyan period. The mouldings
in the pre-Caulukyan temples are hardly traceable to any well-
known works prevalent in Gujarat. The mouldings in the
Caulukyan temples are well confirmed by the canons laid down
in APPR. The same is the case with the vertical treatment of
the mandovara. The ma峁囜笉ovara of the pre-Caulukyan temples is
mostly plain. It probably reflects its simple treatment in the
early works. The Sm. Su. specifies some mouldings of the
ma峁囜笉ovara but they are not found illustrated in the temples of
Gujarat. The various mouldings in the Caulukyan temples are
in full accordance with those prescribed in APPR.
The Sikharas of the pre-Caulukyan temple are of the
stepped pyramidal shape, gradually displaying a transition to
the curvilinear shape. Early works prescribe the height of the
sikhara but are mostly silent about its shape. The Guru岣峚 Purana
however, refers to the curvilinear shape of the Sikhara. The
treatment of the stepped pyramidal Sikharas is given only in
the Sm. Su. which describes it as the Ch膩dya type.
