Sarvāvasara (सर्वावसर) refers to the Bāhirovatthāṇa or “hall of public audience”, 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. [...] There is a reference to bāhirovatthāṇa-maṃḍava, the Hall of Public Audience, to which all people were admitted and which was known as Darwāre Ām in Mugal times. That was also known as savvāvasara (= sarvāvasara) in Apabhraṃśa texts. On page 11.21 there is a clear statement that the king, after dismissing the public Durbar, entered the private apartment of his palace known as vāsabhavana.

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.
