Viśvakarma Vāstuśāstra
Attributed teachings of the craftsman tradition
Cette page n’est pas encore traduite en français. Le texte anglais est affiché.
A body of material assigned to the divine architect Viśvakarma, transmitted through craft lineages rather than a single fixed recension.
Manuscripts under this title vary considerably by region, which makes the corpus a good illustration of how a "text" in this tradition can be a living compilation. Shared throughout are the mandala, the module and the classification of building types.
Treat attribution here as a claim to authority rather than authorship, and always cite the specific recension being used.
