v1.c5.7
The relation of the Vāstupuruṣamaṇḍala to the site-plan, ground-plan and vertical section of any building is similar to that of the tonic and any musical composition. The Vāstupuruṣamaṇḍala gives the principle of all planned architectural form and the prototype of its various rhythms. Vāstu-śāstra speaks of Talacchanda or Adhaśchanda, the rhythm of the level and of Ūrdhvacchanda, the rhythm of the elevation implying the proportionate measurement which connects the ground-plan and the vertical section of a building.
