v7.c47.4845
It implies in the first place a house in the village, etc., or built on the bank of a sea, river, tank or lake; secondly, the detached buildings in a compound which is generally divided into five courts (*see* PRĀKĀRA). But in the most general sense, it implies various sorts of rooms in a temple or residential buildings. The most part of this long chapter is devoted to a description of these rooms.
