v7.c47.4211

II. Pushpaka—rectangular (vv. 21–22)—includes nine kinds, of which (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 the Pushpaka class (II) seems better in the *Garuḍa-Purāṇa*, which may be quoted here :
(10) Valabhī, (11) Gṛiha-rāja, (12) Śālā-gṛiha, (13) Mandira, (14) Viśāla (text has Vimāna), (15) Brahma-mandira, (16) Bhavana, (17) Uttambha, and (18) Śibi(-vi)kā-veśma.—(Chap. xlvii, vv. 26–27.)
