because his body is V膩stu (existence). The asura is called v膩stu, since he
is the abode of the gods.'
49 V膧STUPADDVINY膧SA鈥擳HE PLAN
This interesting topic corresponds to the modern conception of a graph
dividing the ground plan into squares and giving a name to each square.
According to the Pur膩峁嘺s there are two types of diagrams one consisting
of 64 equal squares and the other of 81 squares. The diagram of 64
squares is called Manduka Mandala and of 81 Parama-S膩yika. Diagram of
the padas agrees better with the body of V膩stupuru峁�a which is shown on
the plan. 50 The MP makes it clear that a v膩stu of 64 squares is for worship
by Br膩hma峁嘺s and one of 81 squares for worship by kings. 51 The BS
enjoined that the area of the temple should always he divided into 64
squares. 52 Similarly, the Hayasir峁�apa帽car膩tra lays down that the diagram
of 64 squares is for the construction of shrines, and a diagram of 81
squares for the construction of houses. 53 The diagram of 64 V盲stupadas
reproduced in this thesis after SS and 81 V膩stupuru峁�a after Stella
Kramrisch (see figs. 3 and 4).
From the figs. 3 and 4 we see that there are 45 gods, 13 on the
inside and 32 on the outside. Their exact names and positions will be clear
on the diagram. The subject is treated in several texts as AP, GP, BS,
Haya艣ir峁�apa帽car膩tra, 默SGP, SS and other texts there is a general
agreement in the names and their positions.
