v3.c44.71

The word maṭha was sometimes used in the sense of a *dharmaśālā*, a place provided for the temporary residence of travellers from distant parts. For example, the Rājataraṅgiṇī VI. 300 states that queen Diddā constructed (about 972 A. D.) a maṭha for the residence of the people from Madhyadeśa, Lāṭa and Saurāṣṭra.
