104, No. 3 (Jul. - Sep., 1984), pp. 599-600

W. A. P. Marr. Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies,
University of London, Vol. 47, No. 3 (1984), pp. 576-577

Wayne E. Begley. Journal of the American Academy of Religion, Vol. 52,

Device in Indian Architectural Tradition." The Journal of the Society

Apparently a fourth revised edition of this work was published in 2000
