कल्पिकशाला (kalpikazAlA)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
kalpika-śālā, also °ka-sthāna, corresp. to Pali kappiya-kuṭī (also -bhūmi), which is variously rendered (in SBE 〔13.304〕, on Vin. 〔i.139.36〕, kitchen), in MSV 〔i.235.2〕. [Page173-b] 4 (°śālā), 〔8 ff.〕 (°sthāna), introduced as a place where broth for a sick monk could be heated, and seems to mean lit. either hall (place) for allowable (proper) perquisites (see prec.), or possibly hall (place) for preparation of such perquisites (?)
five are listed (cf. the somewhat diff. list of four in Pali Vin. 〔i.240.1 ff.〕), ārabhyamāṇāntikā (sc. śālā
whose boundaries, anta, are being proposed), ucchrīyamāṇāntikā, goniṣādikā, udbhūtavastukā, saṃmatikā
all are ‘explained’ in 〔6 ff.〕, but the glosses are not all very clear. In 〔i.234.4〕 kalpika-sthāna refers to a proper place for preparing (perhaps also storing? see pratijāgarti) food, and ten akalpikāni (sthānāni) are listed 〔5 ff.〕
