Vastu Shastra in Arthashastra

We discover, in Arthasastra (Ii.21), that the relative measurements of the diverse parts of a column have been expressed. Three specialized terms have been utilized there to demonstrate the diverse parts of a column. The most minimal part called the pariksepa, maybe, showed the platform the part above it, up to the capital, was the nikhata and the capital was called culi. An alternate pillared structure was the upasata or a little divider which framed the walled in area, round outskirt of a town. The materials of common structures must have been wood. The most straightforward sort of abiding was built of screens of bamboo entwined with reeds and straw and, then put with earth. As the lord’s antahpura tops were frequently, secured with mats, Timbers were likewise utilized as a part of more gaudy structures. Its utilization may be inferred from numerous entries. Stone had been utilized within the sides of trench and underground loads and in the development of the city dividers. Structures, completely made up of stones, are not somewhere else. The  sidewalls of a portion of the structures, inside the posts, had been developed of blocks. The banks of the trench were likewise trimmed with block and the city divider was entirely made up of blocks. From all the above, Bhattacharya reasoned that the state of construction modeling, portrayed in the Arthasastra, was exceedingly developed, which may be seen from the incredible designing ability and also the sections, depicting building design in Arthasastra, must have been taken from antiquated messages on structural planning, which indicates the presence of an undeniable exploration of structural engineering as ahead of schedule as the first century AD, Regardless of the possibility that it was not in the fourth century BC.
