superior efforts of bodily mortification and mental abstraction, yet it has a technical 

 fourfold division of its followers (very similar to that which distinguished the old 

 Monachism of Purope) into Arhans or perfect saints, Sravakas or studious saints, 

 Chailakas or naked saints, and Bhikshus or mendicant saints. 



Brahman i and the Matrikas call for no remark. Sinhini and Vyagripini are their 

 servants. The Aishwarika Skanda is in all respects similar to the Brahmanical 

 Skanda: but the Swobhavikas {more suo) make him self-existent. 



20. May the two great tirthas, the source and exit of the Vachmati: 

 may the four lesser trithas : may the Kesa Chaitya on the Sankhocha 

 hill, the Salita Chaitya on the Jatochha hill : may the Devi of Phul- 

 lochha bill, and the Bhagavati of Dhyana prochha hill, be propitious to 

 us all. I adore them. 



20. The four lesser tirthas are named Tara tirtha, Agastya tirtha, Apsara tirtha, and 

 Ananta tirtha. They are four kunds, situate at Vachdwara. 



Saukhocha hill is that which the Goorkhas have taught us to call Sivapura. In 

 Newari, it is Shiphucho. The legend of Kesa Chaitya says, that Krakut Chand Bud- 

 dha cut off the forelocks (and so made Bouddhas) of 700 Brahmans and Kshetriyas on 

 the spot. Half the hair rose to Heaven, and gave origin to the Kesavati (Vishnumati) 

 river: the other half fell to the ground, whence arose numberless Chaityas in the form 

 of Singas, a small mass of hair becoming in each the "palus" of the Lingakar 

 Chaitya. Lalita Chaitya, says the Sambhu Puran, was founded by the disciples of 

 Vipasya. 



Jatachha hill on which it still stands, is the Arjunof the Goorkhas, called in Newari, 

 Jamacho. 



The Devi of Phullochha is Vasundhara, under the form of a conical piece of rock : 

 the hill we call, after the Gorkhas, Phulchok. The Bhagavati of Dhyana Prochha is 

 a portion of Gukyeswari or Prajna, under the form of a conical stone, the hill the 

 Goorkhas have taught us to call Chandra giri. 



21. May the Chaitya of Sri Manja on Sri Manja hill, erected by his 

 disciples : may the five deities established in five separate places by 

 Santasri : may the Puchagra Chaitya, where Sakya expounded the 

 unequalled Purana, be propitious to us. I adore them. 



21. Sri Manja Hill is the Western part of mount Sambhu, between which Sri 

 Manja there is a hollow, but no separation. The Chaitya still stands. 



The five Deities established by Sata Sri are Vasundhara Devi in Vasupur: Agni 

 Deva in Agnipur : Vayu Deva in Vayupur : Naga Deva in Nagpur : and Gakya Devi 

 in Santipur. All are on mount Sambhu around the great Temple. The legend in 

 the Sambhu Puran says, that Santasri was a Kehstriya Raja of GourDes, named Pra- 

 chanda Deva, who abandoned his kingdom, and coming to Nipal was made a Boud- 

 dha by Gunakar Bhikshu, with the name of Santasri. 



Pachagra Chitya is on the hollow level of mount Sambhu.
