भारत के उज्ज्वल वैदुष्य परम्परा के कीर्तिस्तम्भ भारतीय मेधा अपने अक्षुण्ण ज्ञान से सर्वदा चमत्कृत करती आई है जनमानस को झंकृत करती आई है किन्तु हालांकि विभिन्न आक्रान्ताओं के प्रभाव से घनच्छन्न सूर्यरश्मि के समान ज्ञानराशि ग्रंथों के साथ ही लाल पीले कपड़े में लिपट कर रह गया।
सूर्यस्वभावरुचिमान् कर्ण की भांति वह अकूत ज्ञानरश्मि हम तक नहीं आ पाया। ऐसा ही एक रश्मिपुंज है धारा नगरी के भोज की अनुपमकृति "समराङ्गणसूत्रधार" ।
वृंदावन की भाव भूमि पर "ब्रज संस्कृति शोध संस्थान, गोदा विहार वृंदावन"अपने साथ "सारस्वत निकेतनम्" के सहयोग से इसी महनीय और अद्भुत ग्रंथ पर प्रथम बार एक सारस्वत-चर्चा लेकर प्रस्तुत हुआ है।
समराङ्गणसूत्रधार कुल 83 अध्यायों से संवलित भारतीय वास्तुशास्त्र से सम्बन्धित ज्ञानकोशीय ग्रन्थ है । इस ग्रन्थ में नगर-योजना, भवन शिल्प, मंदिर शिल्प, मूर्तिकला तथा मुद्राओं सहित यंत्रों के बारे में विशद विवरण समुपलब्ध है।
इस ग्रन्थ का 31वां अध्याय 'यन्त्रविधान' है।इस अध्याय में यंत्रविज्ञान के सन्दर्भ में गूढ चर्चा समावेशित है। इस अध्याय में अनेक यंत्रों का वर्णन है।
लकड़ी के वायुयान, यांत्रिक दरबान तथा सिपाही, इनमें वर्तमानयुगीन रोबोट सदृश यन्त्रों के बीज की एक झलक देख सकते हैं। हमें पूरा विश्वास है कि उक्त समस्त प्रसंग चर्चा सत्रों में अवश्य शामिल होंगें।
साथ ही यह चर्चा सत्र न केवल विवरणात्मक अथवा तथ्यात्मक होगा अपितु यह भावी शोधकार्यों के बीज का भी कार्य करेगा।
ऐसे महनीय ग्रन्थों पर युक्तियुक्त विमर्श अत्यावश्यक है। ताकि हम गर्व से कह सकें -"भारत तकनीकी के क्षेत्र में आरम्भिक समय में भी अत्यन्त समुन्नत रहा है, जिसके पुनः आलोडन एवं प्रकाश में लानें की आवश्यकता है।"
Indian Architecture encompasses a multitude of expressions over space and time constantly absorbing new ideas. The result is an evolving range of architectural production that nonetheless retains a certain amount of continuity and its own individuality, across history.
Amongst all those architectural contributions of Indian Intellectual tradition, Samarāngaņa-sūtradhāra, of the King Bhoja of Dharanagari, is an encyclopedic work. It is attributed to a vast number of subjects under the general heading of Vastu. His work can be classified as belonging to the Northern Vastu tradition. The text presents itself as such, by tracing its own origin to the divine architect Visvakaraman rather than Maya, as a Southern text would do.
One interesting section describes the king’s palace, commending a particular type of location, shape and distribution of inner sections. What makes this portion worthy of attention is that it was Bhoja’s own actual palace site- which opens up a good possibility of comparative analysis between textual practices and their application on the ground.
