Vastushastra (architecture)
Source: Shodhganga: Elements of Art and Architecture in the Trtiyakhanda of the Visnudharmottarapurana (vastu)Lead is denoted by the Sanskrit term Sīsaka and was traditionally used in crafting Hard Cement, which was used as a Material for the Construction of Temples and other buildings, according to the Bṛhatsaṃhitā and Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa, an ancient Sanskrit text which (being encyclopedic in nature) deals with a variety of cultural topics such as arts, architecture, music, grammar and astronomy.—The fourth kind of vajralepa is made by the mixture of some metals. In the Bṛhatsaṃhitā, along with iron rust and bell-metal, sīsaka i.e., lead is suggested to be mixed instead of tin for making the glue. It is seen that the portions of the metals, suggested in the Bṛhatsaṃhitā are similar as stated in the Viṣṇudharmottarapurāṇa
