(4) "The procession-path round the cell—called Pradakshiṇa—as that round apse, remained for some centuries as a common but not a universal feature. The verandah disappeared. Round a windowless cell it was useless, and the pillared porches contained in themselves, all the elements of shelter or of the shadow that were required." (Fergusson, Hist. of Ind. and East. Arch. p. 221).
