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

4 MĀNASĀRA
CHAPTER II

1. I. J. शिल्पीनां । This is due to the confusion between शिल्प and
   शिल्पिन, the latter being the correct form.
2. B. D. पश्चिमघराद्योशानब्रह्मज्ञैरवलोककृत् ।
3. A. F. J. ब्राह्मस्यं ।
4. I. कखं for वखं; the additional stroke which turns व into क is
   apparently due to negligence of the copyist.
5. The ungrammatical form नामं (acc. sing.) should be noticed; it
   is left unemended to illustrate the barbarous Sanskrit of the Vāstu-śāstra.
   The lines 5—10 are missing in J. The line 10 is missing also
   in I. But it has been preserved in all other Mss. The sense, however,
   may be deduced even without this line. It is practically impossible, in
   such cases, to say whether the most original text was with or without
   a line like this one.
6. B. D. पूर्वपादे ।
7. The genitive use of उत्तरस्य in the sense of locative should be
   noticed.
   One Manu is stated in the Rāmāyaṇa (1.5.6) to have been the
   architect who built the city of Ayodhyā : अयोध्‍या नाम नगरी तत्रासील्लोक-
   विश्रुता । मनुना मानवेन्द्रेण या पुरी निर्मिता स्वयम् ॥
8. B. D. रक्तस्य ।
9. (1) B. D. मनुरस्य । (2) J. तुर्यतः ।
10. I. पुत्रस्त्वपतिः ।
11. I. दैव-ऋषेः, cf. I. 4, 39. वर्धकीति (II. 19, 23, 25, 33) and वर्धकिरिति
    most of the Mss. read the word as वर्धकिः and a few as वर्धकिन् ।
12. A. F. omit च and add सं after रति ।
13. I. नाम; J. गुरोर्नाम । For वर्धकीति see note under line 19.
14. B. D. सूत्रधृक्, A. F. सूत्रकृत् ।
15. For वर्धकी see note under line 19.
