The Vastu Purusha Mandala represents the manifest form of the Cosmic Being; upon which the temple is built and in whom the temple rests. It is both the body of the Cosmic Being and a bodily device by which those who have the requisite knowledge attain the best results in temple building. (Stella Kramrisch - The Hindu Temple)
