: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (shilpa)Lamenting Persons are associated with the Eye in the shape of the petal of lotus flower, which follows specific guidelines of ancient Indian Painting (citra), according to the ViṣṇudharmottarapurÄṇa, an ancient Sanskrit text which (being encyclopedic in nature) deals with a variety of cultural topics such as arts, architecture, music, grammar and astronomy.—In the ViṣṇudharmottarapurÄṇa also, different kinds of eyes and their particular shapes are elaborately discussed in the context of Painting. The forth variety of eye should be in the shape of padmapatra i.e., petal of lotus flower and the size should be nine yavas. The ViṣṇudharmottarapurÄṇa states that the eyes of the scared and lamenting person should be in the shape of lotus petal.
