v7.c47.4085

—A wall, an enclosure, a fence, a rampart, a surrounding wall elevated on a mound of earth. In the *Sāṅkhyāyana Śrauta-sūtra* (xvi, 18, 14, quoted below) it denotes a walled mound supporting a raised platform (prāsāda) for spectators. But in the *Mānasāra* it is used in a slightly different sense and implies the fourth of the five courts into which the compound of a house is divided.
