Vihāra

Vihara in spelunca Kanha inter speluncas Nasik ex saeculo primo a.C.n. est una ex primis.^[1]

Spelunca quarta inter speluncas Ajanta ex saeculo quinto, statua Buddhae in media cellula posita.

Vihāra (Sanscritice विहार) plerumque est monasterium renuntiatorum Buddhisticorum (bhikkhu), quae notio antiqua in primis textibus Sanscriticis Palicisque invenitur, ubi ullum spatii vel loci voluptatis oblectationisque ordinem significat.^{[2] [3]} Notio conceptum in architectura facta est, ubi ad textum monachorum pertinet, plerumque ad spatium apertum vel peristylium, praecipue in Buddhismo. Quod vocabulum etiam in litteris Ajivika^?, Hinduicis, et Iainisticis^[4] legitur.
