Q. Which one of the following is not a work on architecture?
(a) Manasare
(b) Samarangana Sutradhara
(c) Mahavastu
(d) Mayamata
Ans: (c) Mahavastu
Explanation: The work “Mahavastu” is not a work on architecture. Mahavastu is a Buddhist text and is considered an important part of the Mahayana Buddhist canon. It is a biographical and philosophical text that provides detailed accounts of the life and teachings of Gautama Buddha. However, it is not specifically focused on architecture or related subjects. On the other hand, “Manasara,” “Samarangana Sutradhara,” and “Mayamata” are all well-known works on architecture and related topics in India.
