Like villages, Śālās are divided into six classes, namely Daṇḍaka, Svastika, Maulika, Chatur-mukha, Sarvato-bhadra, and Vardhamāna (lines 3-4). Some of these with a certain number of halls are stated to be temples, while others varying in the number of rooms are meant for the residences of different castes (32-37). A distinction is made with regard to the number of storeys they should be furnished with (78, 359-373, etc).
