Vastushastra (architecture)
: McGill: The architectural theory of the M膩nas膩ra叠丑奴尘颈蝉补峁僩谤补丑补 (啶啶た啶膏啶椸啶班す).鈥擜ll procedures associated with the study of the site (mentioned in M膩nas膩ra Chapters III, IV and V) follow, at large, a perceptual mode. First, the physical features of the site such as shape, slope, smell, sounds, habitant flora and fauna, and so on, are 鈥渢aken notice of鈥� to ensure its fitness for dwelling. The word denoting this entire process is 产丑奴尘颈蝉补峁僩谤补丑补. Bh奴mi (literally meaning 鈥渆arth鈥�) denotes site, and in 蝉补峁僩谤补丑补, the prefix sam, which has a unitive sense, is added ta 鈭�grah, 鈥渢a grasp鈥�, thus to connote a 鈥渒nowing鈥� that is perceptual.
The site is demarcated by ritual furrowing, and subjected to an examination to attest the quality of its soil. This is conducted by the quasi-empirical method of conducting certain tests and observing their results. Seeds of barley corn are sown in the site and their growth observed ta ascertain the quality of soil. Then, they are allowed ta be grazed upon by cattle. By observing the dung of cattle, the quality of sail is further ascertained. The permeability of sail is tested by filling a pit dug in the site with water and checking the water-level on the following day.
Vastushastra (啶掂ぞ啶膏啶む啶多ぞ啶膏啶む啶�, v膩stu艣膩stra) refers to the ancient Indian science (shastra) of architecture (vastu), dealing with topics such architecture, sculpture, town-building, fort building and various other constructions. Vastu also deals with the philosophy of the architectural relation with the cosmic universe.
