Sabhā
A sabhā in Ancient India was an assembly, congregation, or council. Personified as a deity, Sabhā is a daughter of Prajapati in the Atharvaveda. The term has also given rise to modern terms of Parliament of India, such as Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, and the Indian states' Legislative Assembly, Vidhan Sabha.
In Epic Sanskrit, the term refers also to an assembly hall or council-chamber, and to a hostel, eating-house, or gambling-house.
The Mahabharata, Book 2, has a Sabha Parva or Sabha episode, which describes the sabha under King Yudhishthira. Monier-Williams compares the word to Old English sibb "clan", in Modern English surviving in the term gossip.
