Իīś (नन्दी�) or Śambhu is the name of an ancient teacher (峦ⲹ) of Vāstuśāsta (science of architecture) according to the Matsyapurāṇa.—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., Իīś], yet a good many of them are quoted as authorities, yet still others are honoured with actual passages being quoted from their works.
