Architecture of Manasara (Original Sanskrit Text with English Translation and Notes)
Architecture and sculpture, both sacred and secular, though,
have witnessed the best of human imagination and innovation serving culture and
civilization in their evolution all over the world. Coming to the present
generation, while the global necessity is the protection of nature, sustainable
development, and eco-friendly creations and constructions, the artists,
sculptors, and architects in the east and the west have started rediscovering
the classic oriental standards outlined in scriptures or presented in
scientific details in specific technical texts in Sanskrit and allied
languages, which have been practice for a very long time in human history. This
invariably proved sites in incredible India and the Indian subcontinent.
Manasara is regarded as the most standard and complete treatise, the
fountainhead of all the Silpa texts. The very name Manasara means the Essence
of Measurement. Of the seventy chapters of Manasara, the first eight are
introductory, the next forty-two deal with architectural matters, and the last
twenty are devoted to sculpture, where sculptural details of idols of deities
of the Hindus, the Buddhist, and Jains, statues of great personages and images
of animals and birds are given.
This new revised edition contains the original Sanskrit text along with the
English translation and explanatory notes. Besides General Index, a Glossary of
the technical terms is also appended to the work.
However, the present work is sure to inspire the specialist with rare
information and insight and also will bring home to lay, readers, the
contribution of ancient India in this highly technical area of human enterprise.
