implacable enemy of Buddha. Fa Hian calls the distance only 70 
paces, or less than 200 feet, in a northerly direction from the east gate 
of the monastery. But as the two pillars and the Stwpa, which have 
just been described, stood in the very position here indicated by Fa 
Hian, it is certain that we must read “southerly.” The accuracy of 
this correction is confirmed by the existence of a large deep tank with- 
in 200 feet of the south-east corner of the ruined monastery, called 
Bhuldnan. This tank is 600 feet long and 250 feet broad, and is now 
filled with water. Close by, on the south side, there was another 
great hollow, in which it was said that the mendicant monk Kukdli, 
a disciple of Devadatta, had been swallowed up alive for calumniating 
Buddha. This is represented by the Lambaha Tal, a long narrow 
tank, only 200 feet to the south of the Devadatta gulf. The third great 
fissure or hollow is described by Hwen Thsang as being at 800 paces, 
or 2,000 feet, to the south of the second. According to the legend 
this was the spot in which a Brahmani girl, named Chanehd, had been 
engulfed alive for falsely accusing Buddha of incontinence. This 
Chanché gulf is represented by a nameless deep tank, 600 feet long by 
400 feet broad, which lies 2,200 feet to the south of the Kukali gulf. 
The exact correspondence of position of these three tanks with the 
three great fissures or gulfs of the Buddhist legends offers a very 
strong confirmation of the correctness of identification of the Jogini- 
baria mound with the great Jetavana monastery. 
345. The pilgrims next describe a pair of temples of the same 
dimensions, of which one was situated to the east and the other to the 
west of the road, which should therefore be the main road that led 
from the city towards the south. Hwen Thsang says that the first 
temple was only 70 paces to the east of the monastery, while Fa Hian 
places it at the same distance from the eastern gate, but towards the 
north. The position of these temples is doubtful, as I was unable to 
discover any remains in the immediate vicinity of the monastery that 
corresponded with the description. There are, however, in another 
position the remains of two temples, which answer the description so 
accurately as to leave but little doubt that they must be the buildings 
in question. The first, or west temple is described by both pilgrims 
as containing a seated figure of Buddha, while the second or east — 
temple belonged to the Brahmans. Both were 60 feet in height, and
