ing buildings, leave the city by the south gate, it is certain that the 
palace was inside the city. Its exact position I was unable to deter- 
mine, as the greater part of the interior is covered with dense jungle: 
but as the east half is comparatively clear, and the jungle low, I was 
able to satisfy myself that no large building had ever existed in this 
part, and consequently that the palace must have been in the west half 
of the city. This conclusion is confirmed by the position of the two 
Stupas of Sudatta and the Anguli-malyas, which Hwen Thsang places 
to the east of the palace, for as the only existing mounds that can be 
indentified with these Stwpas are near the middle of the river face of 
the city, the palace must have been to the west of them, and therefore 
in the west half of the city.

by both pilgrims as being to the east of the palace, were the dwelling- 
house and Stwpa of Sudatta, the builder of the Jetavana, and the great 
Stupa of the Anguli-malyas. These Stupas I have already identified with 
the two existing mounds near the middle of the river face of the ram- 
parts. The smaller one, which is about 25 feet in height, corresponds 
with the Stwpa of Sudatta, and the larger one, which is 35 feet in 
height, with the other Stwpa, which is particularly stated to have been 
alarge one. The Anguli-mdlyas were the followers of a particular 
sect which was established by a converted brigand who had received 
the name of Anguli-mdla or “finger garland,” from his practice of 
cutting off the fingers of his victims to form a garland which he wore 
round his neck. 
336. On leaving the city by the south gate, both pilgrims went at 
once to the great monastery of Jeéavana, which was one of the eight 
most celebrated Buddhist buildings in India. It was erected*during the 
lifetime of Buddha by Sudatta, the minister of King Prasenajita, and 
it received its name of Jetavana, or “ Jeta’s garden,”’ because the garden 
in which it was built had been purchased from Prince Jeta. The story 
of the building is given by Hardy from the Ceylonese annals. Accord- 
ing to these, the prince, who was unwilling to part with his garden, 
demanded as its price as many gold maswrans as would cover it, which 
Sudatta at once promised. When the garden was cleared, and all the trees, 
except Sandal and Mango, were cut down, the money was brought and 
spread out over the ground until the whole was covered, when the sum
