The word Dravya here does not mean, the brick, lime etc., but the component parts of a house. The principal parts of the house are the doors and their constituent parts like Pedya-piṇḍa, Udumbara (lintel), Dvārśākhās, the door frames; the pillars with their bases, emtablature, and mouldings and the Tala (storeys and floors), the Śālā, the rooms and the Chhādyaś (the roofs).
