1867

The pillars are regularly arranged with regard to the Singhasan and the finest pillars 'are in the centre of the cloister in the direction of its depth ; and above them near the inner wall the stone ceiling in two divisions of the roof is singularly carved and strange to say is of the kind desct ibed by Fergusson as Jain architecture. [...] On the whole it appears not unlikely that this long embgnkment was the old boundary of the city in the early periods of its history which was possibly employed for offensive purposes by the Mohammedans on the extension of the city to the south and south-west and the consequent abandonment of this means of dbfence by the inhabilinta. [...] At the junction of the old Ghazeepbre road with the Raj Gbaut road to the north of the latter and about a short mile from the forty is a large square tank on the left bank of which as on a terrace stands the left or pillar which gives the name to the spot. [...] 75 length of the existing fragment is equal to the depth of the terrace above the foundations of the neighbouring cemetery in addition to its present elevation above the terrace and to the extent of insertion of its lower extremity in the primitive but now subjacent soil. [...] It is perhaps by means of the Canenso-Tibetan that we shall obtain a knowledge of the early history of Iranistan of the influences which have affected so peculiarly the early IndoEuropeans the Armenians the Ossetes and the Koords of the third arrow-headed and the Lycian.
