: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama Texts (shilpa)惭补峁囜笉补辫腻诲颈濒补办峁峁嘺 (啶ぃ啷嵿ぁ啶ぞ啶︵た啶侧啷嵿し啶�) (lit. 鈥渄escription of the 尘补峁囜笉补辫补-pavilions and other structures鈥�) is the name of chapter 2 of the 痴颈峁补办蝉别苍补蝉补峁僪颈迟膩: a P膩帽car膩tra text comprising 2800 Sanskrit verses dealing with theological matters, image-worship, iconography (relating to 辫谤补迟颈尘腻-icons) and the construction of temples.
Description of the chapter [尘补峁囜笉补辫腻诲颈濒补办峁峁嘺]: Here the narrator promises to take up the rules for construction of 尘补峁囜笉补辫补-pavilions, 办耻峁囜笉补-firepits, sruk and sruva ladles, 迟辞谤补峁嘺-arches and how to do worship to all of these with the various 诲惫腻谤补辫腻濒补办补-guardians. Also he mentions he will treat of 辫补迟腻办腻-banners and how to sanctify them.
He commences the recital by telling what are the various benefits of constructing 尘补峁囜笉补辫补-pavilions in different directions; the recommended direction is the Eastern quadrant. He classifies 尘补峁囜笉补辫补-pavilions into inferior/middling/superior categories according to how large they are and where they are located (1-18).
Then, regarding 办耻峁囜笉补-firepits, he gives measurements for the constituent parts, the various shapes permissible and the benefits of constructing each type correctly (19-50). Turning to the subsidiary paraphernalia, he points out that the measurements of the ladles and other instruments and decorations are to be proportionate to the size of the firepits, as are also the subsidiary 迟辞谤补峁嘺-arches that are to be built as part of the whole construction. Passing attention is given to the deities to be invoked in the various directional 迟辞谤补峁嘺s before the chapter closes with a brief section on the colors and placement of 辫补迟腻办腻-banners (51-95).
Shilpashastra (啶多た啶侧啶ざ啶距じ啷嵿い啷嵿ぐ, 艣ilpa艣膩stra) 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.
