v1.c21.2
Nowhere in any other extant work on the Vāstu-Śāstra are such brilliant, beautiful and detailed accounts of the Aśvaśālā given. Aśvaśāla being one of the most important accessory buildings in the royal compound (and the horse being the most dignified royal vehicle) when described by an author, who was himself a king and that king was Bhoja of Dhārā, it is natural that the description should be copious and most upto date. Such is the case in the present chapter. Every detail is charming and hence it is tempting to translate the whole chapter rather than to summarise it.
