II. Pushpaka—rectangular (V. 22—23)—includes nine kinds, where (10) Valabhī is correctly spelt, (13) Viśāla is read as Vimāna, which is apparently a mistake in the *Garuḍa-Purāṇa* because (3) Vimāna is a kind of building included in the square (I) Vairāja class. But the reading of class (II) seems better in the *Garuḍa-Purāṇa*, which may be quoted: (10) Valabhī, (11) Gṛiharāja, (12) Śālāgṛiha, (13) Mandira, (14) Viśāla (text has ‘Vimāna’), (15) Brahma-mandira, (16) Bhavana, (17) Uttambha, and (18) Śibikā (for Śivikā)-veśma, (V. 26—27).
