Shilpashastra (iconography)
Source: Archaeological Survey of India: Śaiva monuments at Paṭṭadakal (śilpa)Ādityadeva (आदित्यदेव) is found as a sculpture at the temple of Lokeśvara, maṇḍapa wall, east side, facing east.—The presence of an aura and his standing position on a lotus pedestal lead us to opine that this image might be the representation of Āditya-Nārāyaṇa in Vīrasthānaka Viṣṇu pose. Fourhanded Viṣṇu is standing erect on a lotus seat holding in his upper right and left hands cakra and śaṅkha respectively; there is a kind of ball in his lower right hand which is locally known as the earth. The remaining fourth hand is resting a little below the waist. He is bedecked with one necklace and a long vaijayantihāra;he wears also different keyūra and bracelets. His head is decorated with a handsome tiara.
Shilpashastra (शिल्पशास्त्र, śilpaśāstra) represents the ancient Indian science (shastra) of creative arts (shilpa) such as sculpture, iconography and painting. Closely related to Vastushastra (architecture), they often share the same literature.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
