‘Vaḍabhī (also called valabhī, *see* above) is explained as meaning the wooden frame of a roof ; a flat roof, house-top, top-room, turret, top-floor, balcony ; any temporary erection on the top of a palace : an awning, a tent ; but it seems to refer to a building here, and to denote a flat-roofed temple.’—(Gadhwa stone inscrip., line 2, *C. I. I.*, Vol. III, F. G. I., no. 66, p. 268, note 9.)
