**ĀRĀMA** (*cf.* **UDYĀNA**).—A pleasure-garden, a garden-house, an orchard. A Buddhist convent (vihāra), rest-house for quiet people built ‘not too far from the town and not too near, convenient for going and for coming, easily accessible for all who wish to visit him, by day not two crowded, by night not exposed to too much noise and alarm.’ The whole compound is enclosed with ramparts of three kinds, namely, brick walls, stone walls and wooden fences, which are again surrounded with bamboo fences, thorn fences and ditches.—(*Chullavagga*, vi, 4, 8 ; 3, 10.)
