‘Kawwa Dol,’ or the crow’s swing. There are a number of large 
boulders at the foot, which seem to have fallen from the top. 
Many of these are sculptured with rude lingams, &c., and on one 
to the north-west angle of the hill there is a short inscription, 
which, however, is nearly illegible. 
Wo. 41.—On the east side of the hill there must have been a 
large temple, some few pillars of which are still standing, and a 
gigantic figure of the ascetic Budh, measuring eight feet high, with 
a breadth across the shoulders of six feet, still in its original position, 
with part of the original brick wall behind it. 
Wo, 42.—The temple itself must have been a large one, but 
there are only a few pillars now standing somewhat apart from 
the shrine where the gigantic Budhis. Whether more than one 
structure existed here it is difficult to say, but a great many 
mounds are existing in the neighbourhood, and a large village 
must also have existed to the north-east. 
To the east of the Kawwa Dol there is a group of hills, the 
highest being Burabee, and the whole group is called Burrabur. 
Near the centre of the group, and to the south, five caves have 
been excavated in the solid granite rock, and the labour expended 
in cutting, and subsequently polishing the compact granite must 
have been enormous. There are three of these caves in one 
group. 
No. 43.—The Sudama and Lomas Rishi are cut in the western 
face of the rock; the Sudama to the north, and the Lomas Rishi 
to the south. The Sudama cave, which has a plain doorway, has 
an inscription in the ancient character of Asoka’s pillars, cut in 
the side of the doorway. It records the excavation of the cave, 
in the twelfth year of the reign of Rajah Pyadasi, that is, of Asoka 
himself; the cave therefore dates as far back as 252 B.C. It 
consists of two rooms, a circular one of 19 feet, 11 inches in dia- 
meter, and an outer one 32 feet, 9 inches in length, by 196 
inches in breadth, the walls are 6 feet, 9 inches in height from the 
vaulted roof, which has a rise of 5 feet, 6 inches, making the total 
height of the chamber 12 feet, 3 inches. 
No. 44.—The Lomas Rishi is similar to the Sudama cave both 
jn size and arrangements, but the roof is unfinished ; while the walls
