At a distance of 24 feet from the inner ditch there stood a rampart with 570 towers and 64 gates (cf. McCrindle, *Ancient India as described by Megasthenes and Arrian*, p. 67). This city had four gates, Aśoka's daily income from them being 4,00,000 kahāpaṇas. In the Council (Sabhā) he used to get 1,00,000 kahāpaṇas daily (Samantapāsādikā, I, p. 52).
