(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.)
