Archeological Survey Report. XXXIli 
tried to complete a single stupa, but I soon found that several pieces 
were missing. I believe, however, that a complete one might be 
obtained by a careful search about the village temples, around the 
Jain temple, and in the small court-yard opposite Mitrajit’s house. 
If one could be obtained complete, or nearly so, it would form a most 
striking and ornamental addition to the Calcutta Museum. 
85. A short distance to the north of the Great Vihar, there was 
another temple containing a statue of the Bodhisatwa Avalokiteswara. 
This Saint is the same as the Padma-pani of the Tibetans, and is 
always represented with a lotus in his hand. An extensive low 
mound, marked G, immediately to the north of the great mound,: 
corresponds exactly with the situation of this temple. 
86. To the north of the last temple there was a grand vihar, built 
by Baladitya, containing astatue of the ascetic Buddha. The height, 
as I have already noticed, is differently stated by Hwen Thsang at 
200 and at 300 feet. The lesser height I believe to be the correct 
one, more especially as Hwen Thsang mentions that in its magnificence, 
its size, and its statue of Buddha, it resembled the Great Temple at 
Buddha Gaya. As this last was 170 feet in height, Baladitya’s 
Vihar might very fairly be said to resemble it in size, if it was 200 
feet high ; but if it was 300 feet in height, there could have been no 
resemblance whatever in the dimensions of a temple that was nearly 
twice as lofty. A mound, marked H, to the east of the Dehar tank, 
corresponds exactly with the situation of this temple. It is still 45 feet 
in height, with a breadth of 50 feet at top from edze to edge of brick- 
work. As the facing has disappeared on all sides, the original breadth, 
at the ground level, could not have been less than 60 feet; and if the 
relative proportions were the same as those of the Buddha Gaya 
Temple, the height of this temple must have been 204 feet, or say, 
in round numbers, 200 feet, exactly as stated by Hwen Thsang, 
There is a colossal statue of the ascetic Buddha in a small court-yard 
ealled Baithak Bhairav, at the foot of this mound, which, in all 
probability, was the original statue enshrined in Baladitya’s Vihar. 
87. Four other buildings and statues, which I have been unable 
to identify, are next mentioned by Hwen Thsang, who then goes on 
to describe a brick vihar containing a very lofty copper statue of Tara 
Bodhisatwa. This was situated at 2 or 3 lz to the north of the 
monastery, that is between one-third and one-half of a mile. Now,
