Bhoyaṇa (भोयण) refers to a particular type of hall (maṃḍava), as mentioned by Uddyotanasūri in his 8th-century Kuvalayamālā (a Prakrit Campū, similar to Kāvya poetry).—The Kuvalayamala (779 A.D.) is full of cultural material which gains in value because of the firm date of its composition. [...] On page 14. § 34, there is repetition of gods mentioned at 2.23. At 14.13-7, there is a Stotra of Rāyasirī Bhagavaī describing her beauty and ornamental glory. On p. 15.18 there is again a reference to bhoyaṇa-maṃḍava and abbhaṃtarovatthāṇa-maṃḍava; and further at 16.18, there is again a reference to bāhirovatthāṇa-bhūmi.
