by the wide-spreading roots of the tamarind tree, which have pierced 
the mound in all directicns. I found several ornamental bricks with 
boldly cut flowers and leaves 14 inch in depth. ‘Two of these bricks, 
with opposite curves forming an ogee, had evidently belonged to a 
cornice. The outer faces of all the bricks are ground smooth, and all 
the edges are so sharp and clean that the joints between the courses 
of bricks must have been very fine indeed. As I saw no fragments 
of figures about this mound, I think it is very probable that the 
statue belonging to it may be one of those now standing outside the 
Jain temple. 
204. Mound N is low and clear of jungle, having been 
excavated for bricks within the last few years. It is 45 feet 
square at base, but only 8 feet high. From its being both 
low and clear I thought it favourable for excavation. I dug 
a circular hole of about 8 feet diameter in the top of the mound, 
and near the middle, at a depth of only 1 foot, I came upon a stone 
Yoni, or receptacle for a lingam, fixed in its original position, with 
the spout end turned towards the north. Further excavation showed 
that the floor had been broken up, but the marks of the original floor 
level were quite distinct on the centre stone. As there were no 
traces of any figures, I gave up the excavation, which had already 
been sufficient to determine that the mound N is the ruin of a linga 
temple, dedicated to the god Mahadeva. 
205. Mound 8 is 100 feet in length, by 60 feet in breadth, and 12 
feet in height towards its western end. The top is crowned with two 
fine Stris trees, under which there is a life-size standing figure in 
sandstone. The nose and forehead have been lost by a split of the 
stone, which must have been as old as the figure itself, for there are 
two holes in the split face which still retain bits of the metal clamps 
that were used in repairing the statue. The figure has apparently 
had four arms, and is called Jug-bhira or Jug-hira, “the Champion of 
the Age,” a title which might be applied appropriately to Vira, or 
Mahavira, the last of the 24 Jain hierarchs and the pontiff of the 
present age. 
206. Mound Z is a long low mass of ruin to the south-west of 
Khukhundo, half hidden amidst bamboos. I found a recent excavation 
at the western end of the mound, from which the bricks could not 
have been removed above a few days, as the sides of the excavated
