below. After passing tlie same temple in the area, 

 vou come to the entrance of the lower story of this 

 JSubba, which is in a very unfinished state, but has 

 a figure in the recess opposite the entrance like the 

 former. 



From this lower story, you ascend to the upper by 

 a flight of steps, on the right hand side, fronting 

 the top of which, is a gigantic figure of Indur, 

 (Plate D. No. 1.) with a tiara on his head, ajanoee 

 or Brahmen string, over his left shoulder, sitting on 

 an elephant couched. Opposite to him is Indranee 

 (No. !2) his consort, seated under a mango tree, on 

 a lion. "At the end of thjs cave is a recess with 

 the same figure as in the former, who seems to be thQ 

 presiding idol in the caves yet seen. This room is 

 formed into two nearly square divisions by twelve pil- 

 lars. In the middle of the inner square is an altar. 



There is a redundance of figures in this fine cave, 

 so as to preclude particular description, and leaves 

 me at aloss whether most to admire the minuteness of 

 the parts or the beauty of the whole. The latter will be 

 better understood from the measurement. The etch- 

 ings will give a faint idea of the former.
