Vastushastra (architecture)

Source: Wisdom Library: Vāstu-śāstra

Vipat (विपत्, “adversity”) refers to the eighth of nine aṃśa (part), according to the Mānasāra. Aṃśa is the alternative sixth of the āyādiṣaḍvarga, or “six principles” that constitute the “horoscope” of an architectural or iconographic object. Their application is intended to “verify” the measurements of the architectural and iconographic object against the dictates of astrology that lay out the conditions of auspiciousness.

The particular aṃśa (e.g., vipat) of all architectural and iconographic objects (settlement, building, image) must be calculated and ascertained. This process is based on the principle of the remainder. An arithmetical formula to be used in each case is stipulated, which engages one of the basic dimensions of the object (breadth, length, or perimeter/circumference). Among the nine taskara, the ones named ṣaṇḍa and vipat are inauspicious, and should therefore be avoided.

She shall always wish for his benefit. She shall be virtuous and equanimous in affluence (saṃpad) and adversity (vipad) [saṃpatsu ca vipatsu ca]. She shall have fortitude and shall never go astray. Even when ghee, salt, oil or other things are exhausted she shall not tell her husband openly about it lest he should be subjected to undue strain. [...]”.

Vipat (विपत्) refers to “danger”, according to the Kāśyapa Saṃhitā: an ancient Sanskrit text from the Pāñcarātra tradition dealing with both Tantra and Viṣacikitsā (Toxicology).—The Sanatkumāra-Saṃhitā vouches for the effectiveness of the Garuḍamantra in alleviating the viṣa and upaviṣa wherein the invoked serpents come and remove the venom of specified snakes.—This Garuḍamantra is also known as Vipadi-mantra since the letter pa and kṣi are interchanged. It is reckoned as Vipadi because it can be applied successfully for various poisons and ailments by interchanging its syllables in a specific manner. It is so called as it protects a person from vipat or danger. The Mantra is also known as Garuḍa Pañcākṣarī and Pañcārṇamanu.
