Apart from these principal gates, the S.S. recommends other minor gates also technically termed as *Vaktraarāla* and *Pakṣadvāra*. The former variety is to be placed in the vicinity of the gates of the Rāja-mārga and Mahārathyā; the Pakṣadvāras are the side doors for the use of towns-men at odd hours when the main gate was closed.
