मालाविहार (mAlAvihAra)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
mālā-vihāra, m., acc. to Tib. (on Śikṣ) phreṅ baḥi khaṅ, garland-building: Mv 〔ii.367.3〕 (vs, = Śikṣ 〔300.8〕) °raṃ kṛtvāna (Śikṣ kṛtvā ca) lokanāthasya dhātuṣu, constructed at a place where relics of Buddha are kept. But Lévi, Karmav 〔63 n. 2〕, argues, perhaps rightly, that mālā here means not garland but pavilion (on top of a building)
see mālā
he finds the same word in the Bhvr. candanamāla, see -māla.
