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. - [Previous: c12.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.dutt-1925.c12.2) - [Next: c12.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.dutt-1925.c12.4) - [Up: c12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.dutt-1925.c12) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.dutt-1925.c12.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.dutt-1925.c12.3) · Pramāṇa
