deep, and that water is constantly oozing, and dripping from its steep, 
and guttered sides, forming’ many little streams, which are. called the 
hundred weepers, from the manner im which they fall, and also from the

which, they say, ‘forces its way through channels, either under ground, or

Linga of Maux-peva. The Ganges tumbles over it, hence this stone is

Visunu,.under the pole, flies through the air, brushing the summits of the 
highest mountains, and falls into the Cunda of Brauma, which is acknow-
