Shilpashastra (iconography)
: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (shilpa)The Yak-tail is associated with Varu峁嘺, whose iconography is described in the Vi峁ａ箛udharmottarapur膩峁嘺, an ancient Sanskrit text which (being encyclopedic in nature) deals with a variety of cultural topics such as arts, architecture, music, grammar and astronomy.鈥擳he images of Ga峁単膩 and Yamun膩 are also placed in the right and left side of the image of Varu峁嘺 respectively. The image of Ga峁単膩 should be placed on a crocodile and should hold 肠腻尘补谤补 i.e., bushy tail of yak. Thus it is clear that the Vi峁ａ箛udharmottarapur膩峁嘺 offers a great field of knowledge regarding the nuances of Indian art of Image making [e.g., the yak-tail] during 10th鈥�11th century A.D.
