Language: English

Chapter VII

v3.c27.s6.1

2. I. has a lacuna in place of पदं। The unusual form नामम् should be noticed; but this form is not uniformly used: see for instance lines 3, 4.

v3.c27.s6.2

3. पैशाच is read as पेकच (IX 422) also in the *Mayamata* (VII 1, 8, 23), which appears to be a better reading because पैशाच is the name of one of the several rounds into which a whole plan is father subdivided, the others being Daiva and Mānusha, etc.

v3.c27.s6.3

B. omits the lines 5, 6, and 7.

v3.c27.s6.4

7. I. reads, in place of this line, षष्ठं षष्ठं फठंशं चे......ञ्च कथ्यते। The complete line is taken from J. and other Mss.

v3.c27.s6.5

8. (1) I. सप्तमा। (2) I. स्त for ष्यन्विहनं।

v3.c27.s6.6

11. B. चासनं मानमोरितं।

v3.c27.s6.8

12. (1) J. मेक for चैक। (2) J. विंशत्पदं। Here the square of eleven is intended, and it should be 11²=121; the emendation follows J.

v3.c27.s6.9

13. J. चाध्ये, A. B. F. चाद्यो, I. चायो। The unusual form नामे (see lines 2, 11) should be noticed.

v3.c27.s6.10

14. The number intended to be expressed in this line is 144, the square of 12. I. J. सप्तआशदष्टं for सचत्वारिंशद्देवं। The twelfth plot is named देशीय (in the *Mayamata*, VII 3, 11), which is a synonym of देश्य।

v3.c27.s6.11

16 A. B. F. मेकं for मेवं।

v3.c27.s6.12

17. B. पदं, A. F. J. दशमिति for शंतम्।

v3.c27.s6.13

19. J. विंशतिका, A. B. F. विंशतिवा for विंशपदा, J.'s reading is better as it avoids the repetition of पद।

v3.c27.s6.14

20. (1) B. नाम सिंहासनं। (2) I. J. षधिणेड़कास्तथा for यद्य षोदशकं तथा suggested by the other Mss.

v3.c27.s6.15

21. (1) The compund सप्ताष्ट to express 56=7×8 should be noticed.

v3.c27.s6.16

(2) B. पंचाधिकं च । I.J. add at the beginning रामं and omit पदं । A. F. omit the lines 22, 23, and read instead the following :—

v3.c27.s6.17

तथापदं विवेशं स्याच्चैकत्रिंशविधानकम् ।
एकषष्टिपदं यत्त नवमे पदसंयुतम् ।

v3.c27.s6.18

23. (1) J. पाद । (2) B. पया ।

v3.c27.s6.19

24. I. पदं चैव नामकं नाष्टमं भवेत् ।

v3.c27.s6.20

26. (1) J. गणिति । (2) B. तथा for ततः ।

v3.c27.s6.21

27. The reading सूर्ये विशालक is found in the *Mayamata* (VII. 4, 15).

v3.c27.s6.22

28. B. सैकं । The form पञ्चाष्टम (5×8) is compounded like सप्ताष्टक (7×8) noted above ; see note under 21.

v3.c27.s6.23

29. B. सासङ्घोतमीरितं ।

v3.c27.s6.24

30. B. विंशतिके के देवागारे ।

32. (1) B. omits विं शत् । (2) I. क द्विजानतम्, B. नेतद्विज्नावने, J. and the other Mss. तद्विशालकम् ।

v3.c27.s6.27

Both I. and B. have the expression, तद्विशालकम्, for the first word of the next line.

v3.c27.s6.28

33. I. धिकम् for धिक्यं सप्तति suggested by J.

v3.c27.s6.29

34. B. विप्रगृह for विप्रगर्भे ।

v3.c27.s6.30

35. I. विंशप सचतम्, B. षट्शतम् for विंशत्सषट्शतम् suggested by J.

v3.c27.s6.31

36. (1) B. विश्वश । The correct form seems to be विश्वेश ।

v3.c27.s6.32

(2) The form नामम् should be noted.

v3.c27.s6.33

37. I. ना for सं ।

v3.c27.s6.34

38. (1) I. J. कृत । (2) B. संङ्गा, which is much better grammatically than संङ्गात्वा । (3) B. विपुला ।

v3.c27.s6.35

39. J. सप्तधा ।

v3.c27.s6.36

40. (1) J. B. युक्तं । (2) J. B. तोरिनम् for विप्रकान्तम् । 41. (1) I. षष्टविष्ट । (2) I. reads मासिक apparently for माधिक as in J. which is meant for सधिक ।

v3.c27.s6.37

42. (1) I. J. शोति for शत । (2) I. विंशाल ।

v3.c27.s6.38

43. B. विश्वाविंश for नवविंशान्; the usual form is, however, ऊनत्रिंशत् ।

v3.c27.s6.39

44. I. J. षष्टादश for षष्टशत; the emendation needs no explanation as the number required must be 800; see notes under 12 and 14 above.

v3.c27.s6.40

45. I. न··सं for तत्र त्रिं suggested by J.

v3.c27.s6.41

46. J. विधानकम् ।

v3.c27.s6.42

47. I. J. पदं युक्तं नवमं पदसंयुतम् । The improved reading, retained in the text, is suggested by B.

v3.c27.s6.43

48. (1) J. कान्त for कान्त । (2) J. त्रिंशच्च ।

v3.c27.s6.44

49. I. J. सङ्गमू for सहस्र suggested by the other Mss.

v3.c27.s6.45

50. The last plan is named इन्द्रकान्त in the *Mayamata* (VII 7, 21, 29), which does not seen to be a better reading. B. adds, between lines 50 and 51, एवन्तो सर्ववसापन पदविन्यास ।

v3.c27.s6.46

51. (1) B. मेवपदं । (2) Notice the form सत्रम्, which is apparently meant for सूत्रेण ।

v3.c27.s6.47

52. B. सूर्ये for सूत्रम् ।

v3.c27.s6.48

53. (1) J. जलेशे, B. जलेशस्य, which is more grammatical. (2) I. पर····म, B. पाकरम्, J. पावहम् for क्षयाहर suggested by the other Mss.

v3.c27.s6.49

54. B. च for वा ।

v3.c27.s6.50

55. (1) I. यदिनाम ।

v3.c27.s6.51

(2) I. दपि for यापि suggested by J. and other Mss.

v3.c27.s6.52

56. I. पत्रै for पैतृ suggested by J. and other Mss.

v3.c27.s6.53

57. (1) B. चश्वाष्ट, J. चाद्यष्ट for वैशाचाष्ट । (2) J. सूत्रेषु ।

v3.c27.s6.54

58. (1) B. वैशपदं, I. पद । (2) J. चाग्निक्ष, B. म्पमग्नि परस्यतः ।

v3.c27.s6.55

(3) The form स्थाप्य is untenable; it must be either साप्यं or ज्ञापयित्वा ।

v3.c27.s6.56

59. B. D. omit lines 59 and 60, and have instead the following:—

v3.c27.s6.57

राक्षसा मारुतपतिः । एवं तु निष्कलं प्रोक्तं देवतानां चतुष्टयः ॥ पीठमध्ये तु पृथिवो चतुर्वेदिचतुंदिशि ॥ ईशे शैवजलं सम्प्रवन्हि . . . . . घनं चेव नैऋतौ ॥ एवं तद्दह्यपूजार्थ विप्रगर्भमिति स्मृतं ॥ स्तवस्यात्पूजनार्थे तु महापीठंपदं मध्ये ब्राह्मणस्य चतुर्विवा ॥

v3.c27.s6.58

The reading of B. D. is very corrupt. But the above lines supply a clue to a very important passage left out by the other Mss. From the contents of lines 51 to 56, the general description of the thirty-two plans outlined by thirty-two technical names in lines 2 to 50 can be followed. But all the Mss., except B. D., have left out the description of the third plan called पीठ; they do not give a full description of the second plan, called पैशाच, either. This fact may induce one to recover the missing passage from B. D. and retain it in the text, but the passage in B. D. is hopelessly corrupt. In place of these line the *Mayamata* which is a summary of the *Mānasāra* reads the following—

v3.c27.s6.59

अथ पीठ पदे नवभागयुते दिशि दिश्यथ वेदचतुष्टयकम्।
विदुरीशपदायउदर्कं दहने गगने पवने पृथिवी ह्यबहिः ॥ २४॥

v3.c27.s6.60

60. (1) J. गृह। (2) J. पूजार्थः। (3) It is not clear whether the second half is intended to convey the sense of जनस्य स्वप्नार्थकं। See B. D.'s reading under note 59 above.

v3.c27.s6.61

62. (1) J. देश। (2) शादापवः does not seem to be the name of a god; the next word पार्यकं is certainly such a name. In the next two lines (63, 64) six such names are given; and in this line there must be two names to make the number eight. See note under Translation.

v3.c27.s6.62

63. A. F. विवद्वां।

v3.c27.s6.63

64. I. मुदनं, A. F. दरं for घरं। B. D. omit the next four lines, 65 to 68.

v3.c27.s6.64

65. J. सूत्रैः।

v3.c27.s6.65

66. J. वसुधा, A. F. वमशं।

v3.c27.s6.66

Between lines 68 and 69, there seem to be some line or lines missing, wherein should be described the location of ब्रह्मन् in the plan, उपपीठ, mention of which is made in line 70.

v3.c27.s6.67

67. I. J. सुप्रोक्तं for सुप्रोक्तौ suggested by A. F.

v3.c27.s6.68

68. A. वोषं, F. शेषं, J. वोपं च, I. षोडश।

v3.c27.s6.69

69. (1) I. पञ्चमम्यत्थत्। (2) A. F. शत्वा, I. ईंशात्तु for वैशात्तु (from the north-east).

v3.c27.s6.70

70. After the description of the 5th plan, called उपपीठ, we would naturally expect the descriptions of the 6th (उपपीठ), 7th (स्थण्डिल), 8th (चण्डित), 9th (परमशायिक) plans, etc. in order. But the descriptions of the 6th and 7th plans seem to be missing.

v3.c27.s6.71

71. (1) I. इवमें for सर्वे suggested by J. and the other Mss. (2) A. F. have got a lacuna for पदेषु ।

v3.c27.s6.72

73. J. निष्फलं ।

v3.c27.s6.73

74. It is not quite plain as to why these two plans were preferred by the ancient architects (see note under 154).

v3.c27.s6.74

75. (1) This line apparently should be read after line 154. See note under 154.

v3.c27.s6.75

(2) पदस्थितानां सर्वेषो seems to be the proper construction.

v3.c27.s6.76

78. I. शून्य for शूल, suggested by J. and the other Mss.

v3.c27.s6.77

79. (1) J. चाष्टे, A. F. चास्ते । (2) A. F. मानकं for नामकमू ।

v3.c27.s6.78

81. (1) I. युक्रमाप्तं for दुश्चरान्तं, suggested by J. and the other Mss.

v3.c27.s6.79

(2) I. पञ्चमात्पूर्वितान्तिकम् for पूर्वादिपश्चिमान्तकम्, suggested by J. and the other Mss.

v3.c27.s6.80

82. A. F. कंठ for कक्षे ।

v3.c27.s6.81

83. I. कण्ठे for कर्णो, suggested by J. and the other Mss.

84. (1) J. चापक्ष चापवतश्च । (2) A. F. चापत्वष्यध्ये बोध्यकातं ।

v3.c27.s6.83

85. (1) I. न्दं for नं in both the places; the suggestion of J., which is retained in the text, is supported by later references. (2) A. F. षद्वस्ये ।

v3.c27.s6.84

86. (1) I. भाजं च for राजं suggested by J. and supported by later reference.

v3.c27.s6.85

(3) I. प्रथं, A. F. घ्य for चर्चं । (4) A. F. मरा for पराः ।

v3.c27.s6.86

88. I. षष्टमना प्रोक्त ।

v3.c27.s6.88

89. A. F. न्यपुषा, J. पूर्वनिन्द्रे for पृषामिकोत्सके । 91. (1) I. रागं The required reading seems to be वायु and नाग । which are missing from this list of deities, but are included both under the ninth plan (lines 129, 149) and the general description (lines 10, 237); these emendations are supported by the *Mayamata* (VII. 36), and the *Śilparatna* (VI. 39). (2) A. F. ध्यार्थं, I. चार्यार्थं, J. चार्ये ।

v3.c27.s6.89

⁹⁰ (1) J. मृग the other Mrs. म्रृपक्ष, but the correct reading is पितर who is missing, while भृश and भृग are mentioned in their proper places (see lines 102, 105) । (2) I. दैवानिक for दौवारिक ।

v3.c27.s6.90

92. J. चतुष्क ।

v3.c27.s6.91

93. (1) I. जयश्वत्सौम्ये च, J. जयन्ते तत्परे सौम्ये । (2) A. C. F. रिक्षैक । (3) J. पूरे ।

v3.c27.s6.92

94. (1) A. F. J. विदद्यश्चैक । (2) A. F. लदे for पदे ।

v3.c27.s6.93

95. J. गेगैक, A. F. कगैक ।

v3.c27.s6.94

96. A. F. वैवस्वत पदं मुख्य, I. पदद्युम्नास्य for पदे मुख्य, suggested by J.

v3.c27.s6.95

97. I. पूर्वदोनक, other Mss. पूर्वांदिनकक ।

v3.c27.s6.96

99. I. सत्यपि, J. सत्यपी and the other Mss. समोप । (2) I. J. तस्माद् for तस्य । (3) I. तद्वयं भृशेत् for द्वयं भृशम् ।

v3.c27.s6.97

101. A. F. मध्यमे for पश्चिमे ।

v3.c27.s6.98

102. A. F. J. मृत for भृश ।

v3.c27.s6.99

103. (1) A. F. वरू, J. वण । (2) I. J. क्षिता ।

v3.c27.s6.100

105. (1) चासुरः ।

v3.c27.s6.101

106. J. द्विद्वि पदे for पदे द्विपदे ।

v3.c27.s6.102

107. (1) I. चिरक्षी for चरकी, suggested by J. and also found in the *Brihat-Saṁhitā*, LIII, 83. (2) A. F. J. पावके। ।

v3.c27.s6.103

108. (1) I. ऋतनैः, J. भृतनैः for पूतना suggested by the *Brihat-Saṁhitā*, LIII, 83.

v3.c27.s6.104

(2) The repetition of बहिः and the use of बाह्ये in the same sense should be noticed.

v3.c27.s6.105

109. (1) A. F. leave पाप in a lacuna; J. omits कोण प ।

v3.c27.s6.106

(2) The contents of the three lines, 107—109, have been condensed in the *Brihat-Saṁhitā*, LIII, 83 in one line: चरकी विदारो नामाथ पूतना राक्षसो चेति ।

v3.c27.s6.107

110. A. F. शाश्क ।

v3.c27.s6.108

111. As in the line 107 we should read here विधिः । 112. (1) I. तिस for रस । (2) I. मार्यका; it is read अर्यमा in the *Brihat-Samhitā*; but in lines 167, 255 of our text it is clearly आर्य (देव) । (3) J. देवस्समर्यक, A. F. भार्यकरस्थितिः ।

v3.c27.s6.109

The *Codex Archetypus* leaves out the next two lines, 113-114, which have been preserved by all other Mss; their presence between 112 and 115 is necessary.

v3.c27.s6.110

113. A. C. F. बिंब इति कथ्यते ।

v3.c27.s6.111

114. मित्रस्यम् is another grammatically impossible form.

v3.c27.s6.112

115. (1) I. नव, apparently for नव, in place of रस ।

v3.c27.s6.113

116. I. विशादो, A. F. वोशादो, J. ईशादो ।

v3.c27.s6.114

117. (1) A. F. वर्षे कंठे चाश्रित मारितं, J. शास्त्रय ।

v3.c27.s6.115

(2) The form सर्वे must be connected with either पदे or कर्णे (most likely with the latter), both of which are in the loc. sing. सर्व is apparently taken as a noun and the form सर्वे is used for सर्वस्मिन् in the loc sing. This is really a very good illustration of the ungrammatical style of Sanskrit used in the *Vāstusāstra*.

v3.c27.s6.116

118. I. A. F. भूतर for भूधर ।

v3.c27.s6.117

119. A. F. पादे चैथे च, J. तत्पदं for पदे सौम्ये ।

v3.c27.s6.118

120. (1) A. F. दनंने for पूर्वे । (2) I. J. सचिन्द्रकम्; the emendation, सवित्रकः, suggested by A. C. F., is necessitated by the fact that the deity सवित्र is described in the line immediately following.

v3.c27.s6.119

121. A. F. पूर्वदेशोवोये रसार्मिंदु ।

v3.c27.s6.120

122. A. F. रसा ।

v3.c27.s6.121

125. (1) I. द्विश, J. दंश, A. F. गैद्रं ईशे । (2) I. मय for जय, suggested by J. and the other Mss., and supported by later references.

v3.c27.s6.122

126. (1) I. सन्तं च ते । (2) A. F. ब्राह्मे देशे च ।

v3.c27.s6.123

127. (1) J. इन्दं । (2) I. मनिः, J. यग्निं । (3) J. पदानिकै ।

v3.c27.s6.124

128. I. त्येद for त्येक ।

v3.c27.s6.125

130. J. चरिख्ड, A. F. चंदं ।

v3.c27.s6.126

131. J. वेश, other Mss. for सत्यक ।

v3.c27.s6.127

The following four lines (132-135), left out by the *Codex Archetypus*, appear to be necessary between lines 131 and 136. These are supplied by *J.*

v3.c27.s6.128

132. J. जयन्तैव for जयन्तस्य।

v3.c27.s6.129

135. J. भृंशारचैक, I. भृंशस्यैक।

v3.c27.s6.130

137. (1) A. F. पूर्व। The usual form should be पूष्णः। The sun god पूषन् is well known. (2) I. नो for म्नि, suggested by J.

v3.c27.s6.131

A. F. repeat this line.

v3.c27.s6.132

138. (1) I. भृङ्गराजस्यैव यातस्य पदं चैकस्य पश्चिमे।

v3.c27.s6.133

(2) The form विधातस्य in this and the following line will further illustrate the barbarous Sanskrit.

v3.c27.s6.134

The *Codex Archetypus* leaves out the next three lines, 139-141, which have been preserved by all other Mss. and are necessary here.

v3.c27.s6.135

143. I. गर्म for गगन, suggested by J. A. C. F.

v3.c27.s6.136

144. (1) I. सुग्रीवं च। (2) J. adds तु before चोत्तरे।

v3.c27.s6.137

145. A. F. omit this line. I. leaves out the second half of this line, three following lines (146, 147, 148) and the first half of line 149, which it joins with line 145 as its second half.

v3.c27.s6.138

147. A. C. F. शोषस्यैक। The usual form is शोष; not शोष, see line 105.

v3.c27.s6.139

148. A. C. F. शोषस्यैव, apparently for शोषस्यैव।

v3.c27.s6.140

149. A. C. F. पूर्वकं।

v3.c27.s6.141

150. (1) I. मुख, but मुख्य in line 151; the emendation is suggested by J. and the other Mss. (2) J. तु for च।

v3.c27.s6.142

151. A. F. चोत्तरे for पूर्वके।

v3.c27.s6.143

152. J. सोमांशस्यतु, A. F. सोमवस्यतु।

v3.c27.s6.144

153. I. यमिति for यदितेः।

v3.c27.s6.145

154. I. यतोभि for मदितो।

v3.c27.s6.146

Line 75 (एतत्पदस्थितानां सर्वदेवानां रूपमुच्यते) should be read between lines 154 and 155. The points of great importance to note are:—(i) only the 8th and 9th plans are described in detail and (ii) the *Brihat-Saṁhitā*, the *Mayamata* and other treatises dealing with the subject have described only these two schemes. An attempt has been made elsewhere to explain the occurrence of these two schemes in detail, both in the *Mānasāra* and the *Bṛihat-Saṁhitā*. (See the writer's *Indian Architecture*, p. 162 and the note under Translation of lines 71–75).

v3.c27.s6.147

158. (1) I. कुण्डलं for कमण्डलुं । (2) चाप्ट for चाक्ष ।

v3.c27.s6.148

v3.c27.s6.150

v3.c27.s6.158

v3.c27.s6.166

(2) In the previous list of gods (see lines 111-154) शोष्यत is not mentioned; as the name of a deity it sounds very unfamiliar. In lines 127, 130 we see आदित्य comes between the names शिखि and कृशानु । Here आदित्य obviously stands for च शीष्पतम् which appears to be a confused reading for शचीपतिम् implying usually इन्द्र but here आदित्य ।

v3.c27.s6.167

v3.c27.s6.172

(2) The second half of this line, which is missing from all Mss., may be the passage within sqare bractats as suggested by lines 160, 165, 175, 181, 185, 187, 192, 197, etc.

v3.c27.s6.173

217. महान्त is a confused reading obviously for जयन्त who comes between पर्जन्य and महेन्द्र (see lines 132, 133, etc.).

v3.c27.s6.183

220. (1) I. J. चवधार other Mss. चवधारौ । (2) The dual in the first half line may be explained by taking हस्तौ as understood. But in the second half line it would be better to read वस्त्रोत्तरीयकम् । 221. A. B. F. सुशं च।
222. (1) A. B. F. नोलवर्णांत। (2) J. तक्षकं for अन्तरिक्षं।
225. I. वस्त्रं for वणे, suggested by J. and the other Mss.
227. I. J. दृष्टदंती, A. B. F. चमूवृत्त for समुद्धृतौ। The correct reading and of the first *pāda* appears, on the analogy of line 223, to be गदां शूलं च शक्तिं च।

239. B. भुजमुख्य।
241. B. घंटौ for द्रुतौ।
242. A. F. वस्त्रं च शेषं for मङ्गाटं मेषवक्त्रं च। This शेष should be read in place of जय in the second *pāda*, on the analogy of lines 233, 230 228, 224 etc.
