The Puṣpaka group contains ten out of a sixty-four total 岹s (temples) classified under five prime Բ (aerial car/palace), which were created by Brahmā for as many gods (including himself). This group represents temples (e.g. ѳܰś) that are to be square and rectangular or oblong in shape. The 岹s, or ‘temples�, represent the dwelling place of God and are to be built in towns. The ṅgṇaūٰ is an 11th-century encyclopedia dealing with various topics from the Vāstuśāstra.
