V. — Note on an Inscription on the Mandara hill near Bhagelpur, (form- 

 ing a postscript to Article III. of the present number.) 



On considering the form of the Sarnath characters, it struck me 

 that they resembled considerably those of an inscription engraven on 

 the rocks above the Talao called Pouphar, on the Mandara hill, of 

 which a reduced engraving is published in the second part of Colonel 

 W. Franklin's Inquiry concerning the Site of Ancient Palibothra. 

 The mountain is situated to the south of Bhagalpur : it is covered with 

 mutilated images, fragments of stone and ruins ; and although it now 

 exhibits images belonging to the Brahminical mythology or passing as 

 such in the present day, it may owe the abject condition of many of its 

 temples to their having been Bauddha structures, destroyed during the 

 well known persecution of this religion. Colonel Franklin gives no 

 conjecture as to the purport of the inscription, of which he merely says : 

 " Descending from the summit to Sankar-kund, we proceeded to view 

 some figures cut in the rock on the north- west of the hill : their ap- 

 pearance was singular."
