मानसार शिल्पशास्त्र (प्रसन्ना कुमार आचार्य - प्राचीन भारतीय स्थापत्य, नगर-नियोजन व मूर्ति-शिल्प महाकोश)

Grantha and Tamil characters on Cadjan (palm) leaf,
16½" by 5". The breadth of a single leaf is one inch.
It contains 202 leaves, each of which has 4 to 5 lines.
It can conveniently be divided into three parts. The
first part, in Grantha character, is exactly the same as
'A,' showing their common origin. They are the same
line for line; both break off the Mānasāra abruptly
at the same line. The second part, in Tamil, called
Kāma-koshṭha-bandha, corresponds to Appendix क and
seems to be a commentary on the latter portion of
the first part, which does not belong to the Mānasāra.
The third part contains some chapters belonging to a
different work, probably the Mayamata. Each verse is
accompanied by a Tamil commentary throughout. This
part is noticed in Appendix ख. 'F' like 'A' has,
therefore, only the first seventeen chapters of the Māna-
sāra and a portion of Chapter XVIII.
(G) This belongs to the Tanjore Palace Estate. It is referred
to in Aufrecht, part I, page 452, part III, page 97, and in
Burnell, page 62, no. 11080. It is written in Grantha
character on Cadjan (palm) leaf, 16" by 2¼". The
breadth of a single leaf is 1½". It contains 82 leaves,
each page of which has 4 to 6 lines. The first two
ślokas are invocations to the gods Gaṇeśa and Śiva.
Then come 9 lines from Chapter XXXIV (Maṇḍapa).
The manuscript begins practically with the next Chapter
XXXV (Śālā) and runs to Chapter L (Bhūshaṇa).
(H) This belongs to the Deccan College, Poona, Bombay. It
is referred to in Aufrecht, part III, page 97, and in
Dr. Bhandarkar's Report for the years 1887-91. It is
written in Devanāgarī character on foreign bluish paper,
with water lines, 9½" by 7⅜". It contains 44 leaves,
each page of which has 21 lines. Each line has about
21 letters. The characters are legible, clear and bold, and
