with broad and heavy doors (vitataghanakap膩ta). There was a moat
(parikh膩) encircling the entire city wall. In the city there were
main roads and streets (rathy膩) lined with shops (vipani) and pala-
tial mansions (pr膩s膩da), stuccoed (saudha) and lavishly decorated
with various precious stones and gold. The residential quarters
were variously called pr膩s膩da, bhavana, g峁沨aka, ve艣ma and sanni-

Besides the extensive outskirts of the buildings (bhavanopa艣al-
yani) the city had innumerable public parks (upavana, udy膩na,
pramadavana), artificial hills (kri岣嵞�-艣aila), lakes (saras, ta岣嵞乬u),
wells and tanks (v膩p墨, d墨rghik膩, pu峁�kari峁噄) and public baths (dh膩r膩-

an abundance in the city that it appeared to be 啶�啷嵿ぐ啶距じ啶距う啶�啶�啶�啶苦さ 啶�啷佮さ啶ㄠい啶侧�� 啶曕�囙さ啶侧��,

] 1 (p. 2) Pr膩s膩das were palatial mansions. They were very
high and were white-washed as the term 'saudha' signifies. 24 But
they are variously designed as kanaka-saudha', 'spha峁璱ka-vesma',
'marakata-ma峁噄-pr膩s膩da' etc. probably because of the predominance
of the decorative materials.
鈥� Some of the architectural details are very well brought out in
the descriptions. The salient features are pinnacles of gold (kanaka-
sikhara) or of precious stones. 25 The candra艣膩l膩s were the special
apartments on the terraces from which the moonrise was observed. 20
These rooms were white-washed and the walls and ceiling were de-
corated with paintings, and were studded with sapphires.
The buildings had several storeys (tala) besides the terraces
(utsanga). Utsanga is explained as any horizontal area or level as
of a roof of a house. The floors were studded with crystals and were
resorted to by the people in the summer. The roof was sloping and
the porjecting eaves (valabhik膩) had water channels made of moon-
stones at the end of the ridges (valabhik膩-candrama峁噄-pra峁嚹乴i). The
valabhik膩 was also a small projecting balcony, sometimes called
va岣峚bh墨, and was studded with emeralds (garutmata-valabhik膩) or
made of ivory (danta-va岣峚bhi). Niry奴has are generally explained
as dove-cotes. Besides these there were particular projections in
the houses at certain heights on which rows of swans or pigeons
were carved. These were called ha峁僺a-p膩lis and kapota-p膩lis. The
walls of the mansions were whitewashed on the outside, but decorat-
ed within with pictures and precious stones. The floorings had

26. The Candra艣膩l膩s were apartments in the terraces, white and decorated with
paintings. Because of the paintings these apartments were also called Citra-
艣膩l膩s. They were reserved for the newly weds. Even now in R膩jasth膩n there
are similar apartments and they are called Cittas膩r墨s.
