It is also known as the 补苍腻岣峢测补濒颈峁単补, according to the Siddh膩ntas膩r膩vali. All the 尘腻苍耻峁濒颈峁単补蝉 are made of three parts (产谤补丑尘补产丑腻驳补, or 鈥榣ower part鈥�, 惫颈峁ａ箛耻产丑腻驳补, or 鈥榤iddle part鈥� and 谤耻诲谤补产丑腻驳补, or 鈥榯op-most part鈥�). They are also carved with lines known as 产谤补丑尘补蝉奴迟谤补蝉. The word 濒颈峁単补 refers to a symbol used in the worship of 艢iva and is used thoughout 艢aiva literature, such as the sacred 膧gamas.

This class appears to be the same as the 补苍腻岣峢测补-濒颈峁単补 of the Siddh膩ntas膩r膩vali. The Siddh膩ntas膩r膩vali lays down the following rule for fixing the widths of the 补苍腻岣峢测补-濒颈峁単补蝉: divide the total length of the 濒颈峁単补 into sixteen equal parts; the width of the 补苍腻岣峢测补-濒颈峁単补 should be five of these parts.
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.
