(vastu, vastu)
vastu¦, nt. (semi-MIndic, = Skt. vāstu; Skt. vastu in this sense noted only in vraṇa-v°, Sitz, Ort einer Wunde, BR; in Pali vatthu = Skt. vastu and vāstu), site, place: etasmiṃ…pṛthivīpradeśe bhagavato Kāśyapasya āgama- (? v.l. āramana-; Senart's note em. ārāma-)-vastuṃ abhūṣi Mv i.318.7;…Kāśyapasya kuṭī-vastu (v.l. °vastum) abhūṣi 9, the site of the hut of K.; ṛṣiṇā taṃ vastuṃ teṣāṃ …dinnaṃ i.352.3, the ṛṣi (Kapila) gave them the site (on which they were to build the city called, for this reason, Kapila-vastu, q.v.). Also in i.318.10, parallel to 7 and 9 above, I would read caṅkrama-vastu for text °ṣaṣṭiḥ (rather than °bhūmiḥ with Senart's note). [In LV 106.18 śuci-gātra-vastu-saṃpannaḥ read with v.l. vastra for vastu; so Tib., perfect in having clean garments (na bzaḥ) on his body.]
