In Hinduism
Vastushastra (architecture)
Avinīta (अविनीत) (Cf. Avinītatā) refers to “a lack of decorum”, according to the Devyāmata (chapter 105).—Accordingly, [while describing the consequences of a doorway]—“[...] At Bhṛśa is awfulness. And at Ambara there is theft. At Agni there is a lack of sons. At Pūṣan is servitude. At Vitatha the householder comes to a lack of decorum (avinītatā—vitathe'vinītatāṃ yāti gṛhī), at Gṛhakṣata he gains wisdom. At Yama he attains savagery. At Gāndharva he acquires glory. [...]
Vastushastra (वास्तुशास्त्र, vāstuśāstra) 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.
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Avinīta (अविनीत) refers to “impudent”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.23 (“Outraging the modesty of Vṛndā”).—Accordingly, after Jalandhara spoke to Śiva: “After saying this to lord Śiva, the son of the ocean did not move nor did he remember the Dānavas killed in the battle. Lord Śiva was slighted and insulted by means of harsh words by the haughty (durmada) impudent (avinīta) Daitya after slapping each arm by the other forcibly. [durmadenāvinītena dorbhyāmāsphoṭya dorbalāt] On hearing the inauspicious words of the Daitya, lord Śiva laughed mockingly and became furious. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
