ĀCHĀRYA-KULA—Residences of professors, sufficiently comfortable even for princes and ordinary male and female pupils to be in residence for instruction, teachers' family establishment with pupils' quarters in separate blocks. These might have supplied the general plan of the later monastic establishments of Buddhists, Jains, Brahmans, comprising a quadrangular structure with cells on all sides and the shrine and abbot's cell in the centre or the east. ‘These may be looked upon as the beginnings out of which the pre-Buddhistic and Buddhistic centres of learning like in Nalanda of the residential university type were evolved.’—(Sarkar, *Social History of India*, p. 13.)
