XXXVill Archeological Survey Report. 
97. On the top of the mound I found the lower portion of a 
female figure, of which the upper part was fixed in the ground near 
the A’/sanagar temple. The statue is two-armed, and holds a lotus 
in one hand. It probably represents Dharmma. There are two 
four-armed female attendants, that to the left carrying a human 
head. 
XI.—TITARAWA. © 
98. At Titardwa, 2 miles to the north of Ghosrawa, there is a fine 
large tank, 1,200 feet in length, with a considerable mound of brick 
ruin to the north, and a colossal statue of the ascetic Buddha to the 
south, which is now called Bhairav. ‘The pedestal is 7 feet broad, 
and the whole figure is still 9 feet high, although the upper portion 
is wanting. The usual Buddhist formula is inscribed on the lotus 
leaves of the pedestal. There are besides several others small and 
unimportant, one of which bears the Buddhist formula, and another 
inscription in three lines of small letters. The greater portion of this 
inscription is injured, but sufficient remains to declare the date of 
the statue, which I believe to be about A. D. 800; I can read the 
name of Mahapala at the end of it. On the west side of the statue 
there is the foundation of a brick stupa, 15 feet in diameter. 
99, The mound of Titaréwa is about 20 feet high, and has a 
small modern fort on the top, with a round tower at each of the 
angles, Excavations for bricks are still going on, as at the period of 
Major Kittoe’s visit. I traced the remains of several walls, from 
which I infer that the mound was the site of a large monastery. 
There is no mention of this place either in Fa-Hian or Hwen Thsang. 
XII.—APuHsar. 
100. Five miles to the east of Ghosrawa, and on the eastern bank 
of the Sakri river, there is a low hill covered with brick ruins, close 
to a village called Aphsar. The long and important inscription of 
a second dynasty of Guptas, that was discovered at this place by 
Major Kittoe, is no longer to be found at Aphsar. The people are 
unanimous in stating that Major Kittoe removed it to Nowada 
for the purpose of copying it; and he himself states that he 
“brought it away to re-examine it, and to restore if as much as 
possible before having it fixed in a pedestal near the Varaha” in 
Aphsar. J inquired for this inscription at Nowdada, at Gaya, and at 
Benares, but could not hear any thing of it. The loss of this
