v1.c55.57
I have in my own way called these places as pulpits for religious sermons and forums for discussions. Sabhā in this context was the Darbar Hall in the palace. It has been an invariable feature of all the royal palaces both in the East and the West. It may be remarked that the modern spacious drawing rooms and reception halls as society rooms in private dwelling houses had their proto-types in the Sabhā buildings. As per the S. S. also these Sabhās formed a part of the Palace (vide S.S. 15.49), its use is described as the protection of the Royal palace.
