For the process of kuḍya i.e., plastering on a wall, the painter needs iṣṭakācūrṇa i.e., powder of bricks and mṛd i.e., clay as basic ingredients. To prepare this at first the powder of three kinds of brick and one third of clay should be mixed. [...] In the Mānasollāsa also, lime is prescribed to make a canvas. [...] When the paste is completely dried up, it will be ready for use as plaster and the painters can apply this on a wall according to their necessity.
