In Hinduism
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
Source: Prabhupada Books: Sri Caitanya CaritamrtaMānasaputra (मानसपुत्र) refers to the “mind-born son” (of Brahmā), according to the Śrī Caitanya Caritāmṛta 3.9 (“The Glories of Advaita”).—Accordingly, as the Sages requested Bhṛgu to gather evidence to establish the actual truth: “You are the mind-born son (mānasaputra) of Brahmā. You are senior to us in every respect, and you are the best of the knowers of the Truth. You go and determine who is the greatest, then return and remove our doubts. We will accept whatever you say as conclusive. [...]”.
Vaishnava (वैष्णव, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnu’).
Shilpashastra (iconography)
Source: Shodhganga: Kasyapa Silpasastra on Prakara Mandapa and Gopura LaksanaMānasaputra (मानसपुत्र) refers to the “six mind-born sons of Brahmā”, according to the Mahābhārata (I.65).—Kāśyapa (the author of the Śilpaśāstra) is a name that often appears in Sanskrit literature. The name Kāśyapa first appears in the Vedic and Brahmanical texts. [...] The Mahābhārata traces the origin of sage Kāśyapa to Lord Brahmā.
It says that the six mānasaputras of Brahmā are:
- Marīci,
- Aṅgiras,
- Atri,
- Pulastya,
- Pulaha and
- Kratu;
Kaśyapa is said to be the son of Marīci and the grandson of Brahmā. The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa (CIV. 3-4) says that Brahmā had a son, who was Marīci, his son was Kaśyapa or Kāśyapa.
Shilpashastra (शिल्पशास्त्र, śilpaśāstra) represents the ancient Indian science (shastra) of creative arts (shilpa) such as sculpture, iconography and painting. Closely related to Vastushastra (architecture), they often share the same literature.
