Vastushastra (architecture)
Source: academia.edu: Bhoja’s Mechanical Garden (vastu)Sakṛtprerya (सकृत्प्रेर्य) refers to “machines requiring intermittent propulsion”, according to the Samarāṅganasūtradhāra.—Machines are given a number of further classifications—as automatic (svayaṃvāhaka; lit. “self-carrying”), requiring intermittent propulsion (sakṛtprerya), having invisible propulsion (antaritavāhya; lit. “cannot be carried far”), or not going far (vāhyaṃ durataḥ; 31.10). The best machines, according to Bhoja, are those that are automatic and whose mechanics are compact and concealed (31.11, 49). Different types of motions and timings are also noted. Alongside such classificatory schema, Bhoja describes different functions or movements that machines can perform (31.52–53), enumerating a long list of their good qualities (31.45–49), as well as providing a brief excursus on the benefits of machines in general (31.13–21).
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.
