Source: Shodhganga: Kohala in the Sanskrit textual tradition (ns)Sthūlāgra (स्थूलाग्र) refers to “having sufficient girth in the top part” and hence suitable for the construction of the Play-house (nāṭyaśala).—In the third chapter of Saṅgītanārāyaṇa, Puruṣottama Miśra says that the theatre-house (nāṭyaśālā) should be constructed in the manner that has been prescribed by Kohala and others. [...] The following description of the construction of the play-house (nāṭyaśālā) is also found verbatim in Saṅgītārṇavacandrika of Nīlakaṇṭha: “[...] The pillars are to be made from the khadira, sarja, panasa (jackwood) or rakta-candana (red sandal) trees. The wood chosen for the pillars should not be knotted or hollow, should have sufficient girth in the top part (sthūlāgra) also and be highly resinous”.
