It is ‘the same thing in the pedestal to answer to the vājana : its form, though generally rectangular, is sometimes, when placed in cornices, found to be externally a little more inclined to one side than to the other, and in this situation it resembles the cavetto.’—(Rām Rāz, *Ess. Arch. Hind.*, p. 25.)
