v1.c6.s30.71
—A hall, a room, an apartment, a house, a stable, a stall. The three terms, Śālā, Maṇḍapa, and Gṛiha, are indiscriminately used to imply houses in general. All of them consist of similar parts and are used for same purposes in fact. Go-śālā (cow-shed) (M. XXXII. 87), pāṭha-śālā (college or school) ; vāji-śālā, gaja-śālā, and mesha-śālā (M. XL. 127-128, etc.) generally indicate a separate house for domestic animals ; while pāka-śālā (kitchen), etc., may imply a hall or room inside a building also.
