' Part. No. 59.—About seven miles nearer Gya, on the Patna 
road, there is a large mound with a small modern temple. Near 
this is a large slab with a representative of the same group of 
figures as at Koch Dapthoo, &c. 
Kispa. Nos. 60 and 61.—This ‘place is nearly west from Nair, 
about six miles. There are large mounds there, ‘and a very fine 
standing statue of Sakya Singha as a teacher with the Buddhist 
creed in an inscription round the head. Near the above there is a 
large four-armed figure sitting on the shoulders of another squat- 
ting figure. This figure is quite unique; this being the only 
specimen of the kind to be found in the district, it is not known to 
what it refers. 
Wo. 62.—There is also a curious sculptured block, which it is 
difficult to make out to what it belonged. It could not have been 
the base of a linga, as that is invariably inserted into the yoni, 
whereas in this case there is no place for insertion. 
Genzan. Vo. 63.—About a mile and a half from Kispa to the 
north-east, there is a village called Genjan on the top of a large 
mound. Here there is a very fine statue of Buddha the ascetic, 
with representations of the birth, teaching, and death or Nirvana 
of Sakya Singha in small figures surrounding it. This is one of 
the best-executed sculptures in the district, and although much 
mutilated and broken, it is of considerable interest. 
Raserrr. Wo. 64,—Rajagriha is one of the few places about 
which there can be no doubt of its identity, and was visited by the 
Chinese pilgrims, Fa-Hian in the fourth century, by Hwen Thsang 
in the sixth century, They both visited the ‘Son Bundar’ cave, 
famous in Buddhist annals as the spot where the first Buddhist 
synod was held in a temporary building in front of it, by Ajatasatru, 
Rajah of Magadha, There is an inscription cut on it not later 
then 200 A. D., but the cave itself is probably older. It measures 
34 feet long by 17 feet wide, and is cut in the solid rock, but is 
neither smoothed nor polished. 
No. 65.—The cite of the ancient city is now overgrown with 
brushwood, and is surrounded by hills in every direction. A 
small elevation in the centre marks the cite of a monastery chapel, 
View 65 is looking east from the door of the cave.
