[«previous (B) next»] — Bhukti in Vastushastra glossary

Source: Wisdom Library: Vāstu-śāstra

Bhukti (भुक्ति, “enjoyment”) refers to one of the ten effects of vyaya (“loss”), according to the Mānasāra. Vyaya is the second of the āyādiṣaḍvarga, or “six principles” that constitute the “horoscope” of an architectural or iconographic object. Their application is intended to “verify” the measurements of the architectural and iconographic object against the dictates of astrology that lay out the conditions of auspiciousness.

Bhukti also refers to the second of nine aṃśa (part), according to the same work. Aṃśa is the alternative sixth of the āyādiṣaḍvarga.

The particular vyaya (eg., bhukti) and aṃśa (eg., bhukti) of all architectural and iconographic objects (settlement, building, image) must be calculated and ascertained. This process is based on the principle of the remainder. An arithmetical formula to be used in each case is stipulated, which engages one of the basic dimensions of the object (breadth, length, or perimeter/circumference).

Like in the case of the fruits of āya, all ten effects of vyaya must be considered as auspicious. Among the nine taskara, the ones named ṣaṇḍa and vipat are inauspicious, and should therefore be avoided

Answer 2

The modern example of Harshvardhan's time Bhukti is Province.

• During the historical Gupta dynasty, Bhukti was a proper division or a standard unit of a historical kingdom. The specific word historically used for the historic province was Bhukti.
• In Deccan and Madhya Pradesh, Bhukti denoted an administrative allocation that was smaller than a modern Tehsil or Taluka.
• However, under the Guptas, it typically denoted a unit as large as the division of commissioner in modern times in Northern India.
