The eastern gateway led into the extensive first court—Prathama Kakshyā—in which barracks for soldiers, stables for royal horses (Rāja-mandurā) and a nicely-plastered masonry cistern (pushkariṇī) have been found tallying with the architectural planning of the capital and palace. The western gateway with a minimum width of 17', faced the Kṛṣṇā, and in the north side of the wall was a postern gate (pārśvadvāra) to serve the palace. [Fig. 222].
