(c) MILITARY CAMPS :-
Dhanapala's sketchy descriptions of military camps,
such as, the one of Prince Harivahana on the Lauhitya moun-
145 tain
and the other of Prince Samaraketu on the shore of
146 the Southern Ocean' are interesting in some of the details.
The camp was generally laid near a river or a lake and con-
sisted of a number of tents of various sizes and types serv-
ing as residential quarters, commandant's head-quarters,
military store-room, mess and etc., The tents for royal and
other dignitaries were of various colours, had number of
apartments and were adorned with ornamentations like the
crocodile-arches etc.. The royal tent, laid in the centre of
the camp, was surrounded by an extensive fence of bamboo
poles. The tents of the body-guards and the feudatories
were laid in successive series around the central one. The
147 courtyard of the tent was probably plastered with cowdung.
