v7.c47.4304

This Āgama like the *Mānasāra* divides the whole compound into five enclosed quadrangular courts. In both the treatises, each of the courts is stated to be furnished with a separate gate-house. Moreover these gate-houses are given the same technical names in both the works, viz. Dvāra-śobhā (in the first court), Dvāra-śālā (in the second), Dvāra-prāsāda (in the third), Dvāra-harmya (in the fourth), and the Dvāra-gopura (in the fifth or the extreme boundary, mahā-maryādā ; *cf.* *Mānasāra* under GOPURA.)
