By this defignation, have the Brahmensy who defcribe 

 them, thought proper to difcriminate this group of caves, 

 which, though making no confpicuous figure here, would 

 render any other place illullrious. They under this 

 term of pollution, endeavour to deter vifitors from en- 

 tering it, though the large cave is a very fine one, over 

 the front of which a little river muft rufli in the rainy 

 feafon into the plain below, forming a fheet of water, 

 that, in a beautiful cafcade, muft cover the front of the 

 excavation as with a curtain of cryftal. There are two 

 ftripes of ftone that run parallel to each other along 

 the floor, from the entrance, the whole depth of this 

 cave (the profpcQ; from which, of the great tank, town, 

 and valley, of Ellora^ Sec. is beautiful) and feem in- 

 tended as' feats either for ftudents, fcribes, or the fellers 

 of fome commodities, a convenient palTage lying be- 

 tween them up to the idol at the end of the cave. 

 N. B. The annexed fl^etch (Plate K.) was taken from 

 a ftation near (3) on the right, or northern, fide of the 

 excavated hill.
