In the section titled Pura varga, 础尘补谤补办辞艣补 gives details about various buildings in a city starting from palaces to huts^[1]. A section of this Varga deals with the structural specialities and these supplemented by 碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 are dealt with here.

(a) Tora峁嘺 (II. 2. 17; p. 77)鈥�

[Decoration of the gate post:]

碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 explains 迟辞谤补峁嘺 as the auspicious decoration of flowers hung over the main entrance or gateway, also called 惫补苍诲补苍补尘腻濒颈办腻.

This main entrance is also called 蝉颈峁僪补诲惫腻谤补鈥�

(b) Hastinakha (II. 2. 17; p. 77)鈥�

[A raised place over the gate:]

础尘补谤补办辞艣补 defines hastinakha as a raised place over the gate. 碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 elaborates it further that it is an ascending stair to climb down from the arch gate of the fort; and that which resembles the elephant nail; it is also called 补辫补蝉辞辫腻苍补.

He adds that some consider it as an inner staircase鈥�

Monier Williams (p.1259, Col. 2)鈥�

鈥淓lephant鈥檚 nail a sort of turret or raised mound of earth or masonry protecting the access to the gate of a city or fort (described as furnished with an inner staircase and with loopholes for discharging arrows)鈥�.

Hastinakha according to 碍补耻峁璱濒测补 (II. 3. 29) is鈥�nive艣膩rdha峁� hastinakham鈥搕he passage way going down ressembling the nails of an elephant; he gives the measurement as half the width of the gateway.

(c) N膩s膩 (II. 2. 14; p. 76)鈥�

[Upper threshold:]

Agreeing with 础尘补谤补办辞艣补's definition, 碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 quotes both the views of 惭腻濒腻 and 膧肠腻谤测补. 惭腻濒腻 seems to agree with 础尘补谤补办辞艣补 while according to 膧肠腻谤测补 the upperthreshold is called 耻迟迟补谤腻蝉补峁単补 and the lower is called 诲别丑补濒墨鈥�

(d) 艢il膩 (II. 2. 14; p. 76)鈥�

[The lower-threshold:]

础尘补谤补办辞艣补 defines 艣颈濒腻 as the lower threshold of a door.

碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 also agrees with 础尘补谤补办辞艣补 while explaining the term. He further adds the view of 骋补耻岣峚 according to whom it means a supporting pillar鈥�

(e) Argala (II. 2. 18; p. 77)鈥�

[Bar of a door:]

碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 explains it as the rod made of either wood or metal which supports or holds the door when pulled. He adds parigha as synonym鈥�

膩re峁嚹乲ar峁�a峁噀na galatyargala峁� d膩rumayo loho v膩 诲补峁囜笉补岣� | parigha艣ca |

Parigha according to 碍补耻峁璱濒测补 (II. 3. 25, 28)^[2] are cross bars used to fasten the doors; the hastinakha seems to refer to iron bars that prevent the door from being broken by the elephants.

(f) Mukham (II. 2. 19; p. 77)鈥�

[Entrance of a house:]

础尘补谤补办辞艣补 gives 苍颈岣�s补谤补峁嘺 as synonym of mukha.

碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 explains mukha as that through which one enters or leaves the house and cites 碍补耻峁璱濒测补 (II. 3. 21)鈥�

驳峁沨腻诲别谤苍颈岣�s谤颈测补迟别 pravi艣yate ca yena tanmukha峁� yatkau峁璱lya岣� mukhasama岣� sa峁僰ramo mukh膩nuv膩dena 苍颈岣�s补谤补峁嘺vidhirv膩 |

(g) Kak峁Ｄ� (III. 3. 219; p. 325)鈥�

[Wall:]

础尘补谤补办辞艣补 mentions that the homonym denotes grass and creeper.

碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍 adds, that it also denotes a wall and cites the view that the capital should be bilt within the seventh wall鈥�

(h) 膧roha峁嘺 and 补诲丑颈谤辞丑颈苍墨 (II. 2. 19; p. 77):

础尘补谤补办辞艣补 only mentions that the former is 蝉辞辫腻苍补 (steps for ascending) and the latter as 苍颈艣谤别峁噄 (steps for descending).

From 碍峁Ｄ玶补蝉惫腻尘颈苍's explanation it is understood that the word 腻谤辞丑补峁嘺 and 补诲丑颈谤辞丑颈苍墨 denote staircase built of wall and the latter 苍颈丑艣谤别峁噄 is a ladder made of wood鈥�
