¹ Readers should not confuse the Indian village (grāma) with its counterpart in the West. A village in English means a collection of houses with one long street, without any public buildings etc. This resembles what is known as a simple Daṇḍaka village in the Śilpa Śāstras. The measurement of a Pallī is half that of a Grāma.
