### [c5.72](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.mackay-1935.c5.72)

A short distance south of it is what appears to be a palace—a large, straggling building of excellent masonry, arranged round two spacious courtyards, with servants' quarters, a number of storerooms and, in its earlier days, accommodation for metal-workers as well. It is about two hundred and twenty feet long and one hundred and fifteen feet wide, with walls in some places well over five feet thick; and, surrounded as it is by important streets, it seems to form an island in an otherwise undistinguished quarter of the city.
