Indian Epigraphical Glossary
Englishśuka-nāsa, cf. śukanāsi (Arch. Rev., 1960-61, Section III)
literally, ‘a parrot's nose’ explained as ‘a gargoyle or
the water spout in a building’ (Acharya, Ind. Arch., p. 169)
and ‘a vestibule’ (R. Narasiṃhachar, The Keśava Temple of
Somanāthapur, p. 3)
but also as ‘the projection of the main
body of the śikhara of a temple originally at the front-
side’ (Kramrisch, Hindu Temple, p. 241)
also called śuk-
āṅghri. The Dīpārṇava (ed. Prabhāśaṅkar O. Sompurā, p. 116)
has the following stanzas on the subject:
agre kolī kapolas = tu śuka-nāsas = tu nāsikā |
sāndhāre stambha-rekhā ca kartavyā madhya-koṣṭhake ||
prāsādasya puro-bhāge nirvāṇa-mūla-śṛṅgakam |
tad-agre śuka-nāśaṃ ca ek-ādi saptam = udgamam ||
tasy = opari siṃhaḥ sthāpyo maṇḍapa-kalaśa-samaḥ |
dvi-stambhaḥ śuka-nās-āgre vijñeyaḥ pāda-maṇḍapaḥ ||
