I cannot close this account of the ancient Nâlanda without mentioning the noble tanks which surrounded the ruins on all sides. To the north-east are the Gidi *Pokhar* and the *Pansokar Pokhar*, each nearly one mile in length; while to the south there is the *Indra Pokhar*, which is nearly half a mile in length. The remaining tanks are much smaller in size, and do not require any special notice.
