In Hinduism
Vastushastra (architecture)
: academia.edu: Bhoja鈥檚 Mechanical Garden (vastu)础濒补办峁迟腻 (啶呧げ啶曕啶粪い啶�) refers to 鈥渋nvisibility鈥�, representing a desirable characteristic of machines (yantra), according to the Samar膩峁単anas奴tradh膩ra.鈥擬achines, and particularly automata, are consistently associated with a cluster of terms in Sanskrit denoting wonder, marvel, surprise, strangeness, and curiosity (e.g., kautuka, 腻艣肠补谤测补, vicitra, 补诲产丑奴迟补, and vismaya). The best machine, according to Bhoja, is one that fulfills various uses, one whose principal action is concealed (补濒补办峁补), and one that creates astonishment (vismaya) among men (31.12). He reminds the planner that the most admired qualities of a machine are the invisibility (补濒补办峁迟腻) of its workings and its strangeness (vicitratva; 31.14). Indeed, Bhoja pines, 鈥淲hat else in the world is more strange? What else is more satisfying? And what creates [such] fascination?鈥�
Vastushastra (啶掂ぞ啶膏啶む啶多ぞ啶膏啶む啶�, v膩stu艣膩stra) 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.
