The elevated platforms to see the mock fight from are also placed near the door (148-150). The iron-pike (śūla-kampa) for capital punishment is placed in a prominent place near the gate (135). But the jail (kārāgara) is built in a rather out-of-the-way place, such as the Bhṛiśa, or the Antariksha part. All these are given by way of illustrations, the most part of the arrangement being left, as stated here, to the discretion of the artists, and the choice of the king (155). RĀJĀṄGA—The royal court, persons forming the king's suite or council, anything related to the king, the royal palace. In a chapter (XLI), named Rājaṅga, of the Mānasāra are described the nine classes of kings, their courts, kingdoms: royalties and some special characteristics. "Had a palace (Rājāṅga) built for Goparāja to the west of that pond." (Ep. Carnat. vol. x. Malur Taluq, no. 4, Roman text, p. 187, Transl. p. 156).
