³ Kāṭhaka-Upanishad, v. 1, speaks of a town with eleven gates as a possibility (the body is like a town with eleven gates). Nine gates are given to a town by Varāha, p 52, 5: Nava dvāraṁ.....eka-stambhaṁ chatush-patham. Laṅkā has four bridged gates(eight in all and eight walls) (R. VI. 93, 7). Four gates are implied in the 6th act of Mṛichchhakaṭika where the men are told to go to the four quarters to the gates.
