He was for sometime Assistant Sthapati in the Religious Endowments, Hyderabad. Today he is a qualified Archacologist with technical background, doing very deep researches that cannot be matched by any in the field. My ambition or dream that shilpis should also become archaeologists and interpret and expose the subtleties of Vaastu principles and their application in the design and execution of various monuments is actually taking shape in Dr.Nagi Reddy's efforts. I have seen his thesis also. It is replete with facts. Instes of repeating and elaborating on the old findings and old monuments, he has chosen a new path which is worthy of emulation. In this monograph you will find bim presenting enormous material on shilpis and their direct involvement in the creation of or establishement of religious and secular edifices. In this context we come across a good number of names of shilpis, their Kula Devatas, Gotras and Shilpi guilds as gathered and projected from the epigraphical records. From such records, the linkage of shilpins to Vedic and pre Vedic cultures is brought to lime light. Dr-Nagi Reddy has given some glimpses of the gotras of the traditional shilpins and they are gm, ware, aexa, Sere and qyta according to_Nandyalampet inscription dated to_1748.A.D. According to Mahamahopadhyaya Dr,P.Nageswara Rao of Hyderabad, such an information is available as early as 2nd Century A.D, in Gudrahara inscription. These five rishis come under the lineage of Brahma Vidyacharya of Brihadaranyakopanishad and ‘earlier_in Krishna’ Yajur Veda, according to Dr.Rao. I hope that scholars present at the seminar will throw SOme more light on this aspect of the shilpis' origin Itis very interesting to find that the names of the traditional architects who had carved the rock-temples in Andhra are recorded in the epigraphs. The highlight on shilpins of non-Viswakarma community is also worth noting. Even today, we have a number of shilpis who work in the Vaastu field and have earned high reputation. Dr.Nagi Reddy Garu is a living example! The value of the monograph would haye become two fold, if the author had quoted the actual inscriptions. Dr.Reddy, | feel and desire. should recast the monograph in such a way that more information is brought to societal knowledge with actual wordings Ry Finan h ii of the inscription, The shilpis living today throughout the length and breath of India belong to an aboriginal creative tribe and the lithic records would go to strengthen this view. Any information on shilpis culled out of the lithic records would help the anthropologists and historians to identify the roots of Indian culture which is still lying shrouded in mystery. Another fact, which | have been anxiously waiting for, is the discovery of shilpis who did the Buddhist monuments in Andhra Desa, particularly in Nagarjunakonda. The shilpis of Buddhist architecture and sculpture were called Navakammikas. It is also revealed that these Navakammikas are converts to Buddhism. This fact is further strengthened by another record of Vaastu texts, having had evolved exclusively for Buddhist monuments. In Manasara Vaastu Shastra there is a mention of two principal texts ‘Gautamam and Chaityam' in addition to ‘commodating two chapters on Buddhist and Jaina iconography, thereby establishing the non seetarian and universal nature of Vaastu principles and Vaastu concepts. The variety of information that Dr.Reddy has presented here in the monograph, would help historians of today to evolve an authentic history of the shilpis and their substantial contribution to the spiritual culture of Indi fullfledged version, the world is yet to see and what is ava'labte in the market is distorted because the particulars were not from the right source. I would request younger generation of Archacologists to toe the line of Dr.Reddy and bring to light more and more facts from out of the caves of epigraphy so that the shilpis who have lost their crowns and who have drifted away from the traditional stream of activities may come back with pride and confidence and carry on the thread of their ancestral knowledge, wisdom and expertise. At this context, the Government of Karnataka deserves grateful mention for having brought out a big volume on the traditional shilpis of Kannada Desa. What is very interesting is that every BIFoF abulprure in Ramataka bs i of the author, which is unheard of in other regions: | hope that this small monograph will be an eye opener to the archacologists of Tamilnadu and other States of Bharat (0 bestow their attention on the inscriptions on shilpis and bring out monographs on various aspects of shilpaic tradition. Similarly the Archaeological Department of Kerala can also take up such a Project on the contribution of Keralite shilpis ¢0 the scientific and technological heritage of Kerala.

The rock cut monuments of Mamallapuram that are today enjoying the name of "world heritage" under a UNSECO programme, Were executed by four eminent shilpis namely 'Kevatha Perunthachan, Thachan Gunamallan, Thachan Abhajan and Palya mizhippan’. These names gre found inscribed on the rock-face, in a nearby village, called Poonjeri. Similarly we come across two more Peruthachans, one TTUMtiramerur recorded as Parameshwara Peruthachan and another in Tiruvetriyur named RavfPerunthachan, all in Tamilnadu. These \ naihes were brought to light by Dr.N.Nagaswami formerly the Director of Tamilnadu State Archieology’ It was he who brought the shilpis of great repute tothe attention of society first in history. while others brushed aside such historical facts. Credit also goes to him for having created public awareness and participation in the affairs of the department of archacology which lay concealed
