Bhavana does mean a palace. Mandira and vimana do not mean palace. Nivasa means residence and does not indicate the nature of residence.

I am appalled by this comment. These Sanskrit / Pali words you quoted, these are not obscure words. Infact they are used today in most of North India.

Your translations and assertions are completely wrong. I would expect a higher level of scholarship before one makes such a matter of fact comment.
