v1.c5.s8.11

⁹⁹ It appears almost as if the elaboration of the Vāstupuruṣamaṇḍala were due to Śaiva activity. This would be confirmed by statements like that of Brahmaśambhu (middle tenth century) that Vāstu whose body is Vāstu is spoken of in Vāstu-śāstras and in Śaiva-āgamas (I.P. III. ch. XXVI. 93 f.). Vaiṣṇava texts, like the ‘Hayaśīrṣapañcarātra’ or the ‘Mahā-kapilapañcarātra’ represent the identical theme in its general and in this case, Vaiṣṇava validity.
