It may be noted here, that though there are as many as ten classifications of the Śālā buildings—from Ekaśālas to Daśaśālas, the text takes up the fourth classification, namely the Catuśśālas both for its definition and classification. This may be because the Catuśśāla houses are often mentioned in literature and this is the most characteristic type of ancient Indian buildings as the bulk of the middle class people used to live in this type of *śālā*-house.
