Vastushastra (architecture)
: McGill: The architectural theory of the M膩nas膩ra痴颈艣惫补惫颈诲 (啶掂た啶多啶掂さ啶苦う啷�) refers to the southern face of 痴颈艣惫补办补谤尘补苍.鈥擜ccording to the M膩nas膩ra II.2-4, the proper name of the deity is 痴颈艣惫补办补谤尘补苍 (which means 鈥渇orger of the universe鈥�), of which 濒辞办补办峁泃, meaning 鈥渨orld-maker,鈥� is a synonym. [...] 痴颈艣惫补办补谤尘补苍 is said to he born with four faces. Each face has a name that signifies a particular role which seems to be an attempt ta further delineate the different aspects of the grand process of cosmic generation. Thus, the eastern face is called 惫颈艣惫补产丑奴, literally, 鈥渢he world-born one鈥�, here to mean the one who grants the world its existence; the southern face, 惫颈艣惫补惫颈诲, 鈥渢he world-knowing one鈥�; the northern face, 惫颈艣惫补蝉迟丑补, 鈥渢he world-establishing one鈥�; and the western face, 惫颈艣惫补蝉谤补峁ａ弓腻, 鈥渢he one who is maker of the world鈥�. From the eastern face of 痴颈艣惫补办补谤尘补苍 was born (also) 痴颈艣惫补办补谤尘补苍; from the southern face, Maya; from the northern face, Tva峁ａ弓峁�; and from the western face, Manu. The four members of the builder鈥檚 guild, namely sthapati, 鈥渕aster-builder鈥�, 蝉奴迟谤补驳谤腻丑颈苍, 鈥渃ord-bearer鈥�, vardhaki, 鈥渟tone-cutter鈥�, and 迟补办峁办补, 鈥渃arpenter鈥�, are said to he sons of 痴颈艣惫补办补谤尘补苍, Maya, Tva峁ａ弓峁� and Manu respectively.
