Kalpikaśālā (कल्पिकशाला).—also °ka-sthāna, corresp. to Pali kappiya-kuṭī (also -bhūmi), which is variously rendered (in [Sacred Books of the East] 13.304, on Vin. i.139.36, kitchen), in Mūla-Sarvāstivāda-Vinaya i.235.2. [Page173-b+ 71] 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) perqui- sites (see prec.), or possibly hall (place) for preparation of such perquisites (?); five are listed (compare 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, saṃ- matikā; 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.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
