244 Report of the Archeological Survey. [No. 4, 
At 46 feet above the ground on the west side, there are the remains of 
a curved wall faced with kankar blocks. The mass at this point is 
about 40 feet thick, and this was probably somewhat less than the size 
of the building which once crowned this-lofty mound. According to 
the Brahmans the Mani-Parbat is one of the hills which the monkeys 
made use of when assisting Rima. It was dropped here by Sugriva, 
the monkey-king of Kishkindhya. But the common people, who 
know nothing of this story, say that the mound was formed by the 
labourers shaking their baskets on this spot every evening, on their 
return home from the building of Ramkot. It is therefore best known 
by the name of Jhowa-Jhdr or Ora Shar, both. of which mean “ basket- 
shakings.” A similar story is told of the large mounds near Benares, 
Nimsar, and other places. 
314. Five hundred feet due south from the large mound stands the 
second mound called Kuber-Parbat, which is only 28 feet in height- 
The surface is an irregular heap of brick rubbish, with numerous holes 
made by the people in digging for bricks, which are of large size, 11 
inches by 74 by 2. It is crowned by two old tamarind trees, and is 
covered with jungle. Close by on the south-west there is a small 
tank, called Ganes-Kund by the Hindus, and Husen Kund, or Imém 
Talao, by the Musalmans, because their Yazias are annually deposited 
in it. Still nearer on the south-east there is a large oblong mound 
called Sugrib-Parbat, which is not more than 8 or 10 feet above the 
ground level. It is divided into two distinct portions ; that to the north 
being upwards of 300 feet square at top, and the other to the south 
upwards of 200 feet. In the centre of the larger enclosure there is a 
ruined mound containing bricks 84 inches square, and in the centre of 
the smaller mound there is a well. 
315. Between the Jani and Kuber mounds there is a small 
Muhammadan enclosure, 64 feet long from east to west and 47 feet 
broad, containing two brick tombs, which are attributed to Sis Pav- 
ghambar and Ayub Paighambar, or the “prophets Seth and Job.” 
The first is 17 feet long, and the other 12 feet. These tombs are 
mentioned by Abul Fazl, who says, “ Near this city are two sepulchral 
monuments, one 7 and the other 6 cubits in length. The vulgar 
pretend that they are the tombs of Seth and Job, and they relate 
wonderful stories of them,’ This account shows that since the time
