Shilpashastra (iconography)
Source: Wisdom Library: Śilpa-śāstraPādabandha (पद्मबन्ध) refers to a variety of adhiṣṭhāna, which is a pedestal or base of a structure, and a very important component in the art of construction (śilpa). Padmabandha is mentioned in the Mānasāra (chapter 14) as having a further four sub-varieties. In the Śilparatna it is mentioned as having two sub-varieties. Pādabandha is also mentioned in the Mayamata, Kāśyapaśilpa (as abjabandha) and the Vimānārcanakalpa.
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.

Kāśyapaśilpa (verses 6.65-68) addresses this type as abjabandha, which is synonymous to padmabandha. Padmabandha, in the place of Jagati, should possess a mahāpadma and the lacing of padmadalas should be provided for the kumuda.
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.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
