Vastushastra (architecture)
Source: archive.org: Bharatiya vastu-sastraVaibhavatantra (वैभवतन्त्र) or simply Vaibhava is the name of a Tantra authored by Vibhava: an ancient teacher (ācārya) of Vāstuśāsta (science of architecture) according to the Vibhava.—All these great teachers cannot be said to be legendary. Some used to be propagated in ancient India. No nation can flourish without its care for its material prosperity. All this technique and training and their systematic and successful teaching and transmission were of equal importance. Most of the treatises of Vāstuśāstra carry many of these names [i.e., Vibhava—Vaibhavatantra], yet a good many of them are quoted as authorities, yet still others are honoured with actual passages being quoted from their works.
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.
