A. M. Broadley — The Buddhistic Remains of Bihar. [No. 3, 
To the right of the Hindu idol is a figure of Buddha under a pillared 
canopy. The next to the right is a figure of Buddha, four and a half feet high, 
which resembles in almost every particular a still finer idol which I excavated 
from the ruins of the Vihira. This latter being now in my own collection, I 
refrain from any detailed description in the present case, but I may mention 
that the main figure is surrounded by five smaller ones, the first being seated 
in the hair and the others to the right and left of head and hands respect- 
ively. 
Five hundred feet west of the Singhabani, one arrives at the ruins of the 
viliara and temple. The former now consists of a mound, having a circum- 
ference of some 200 feet, and the latter of an oblong mass of bricks and rub- 
bish, measuring 120 feet by 70 and about 15 or 20 feet above the level of 
the surrounding country. The mound is strewn with broken Buddhistic idols, 
and to the east of it was found a fine piece of black basalt one foot nine 
inches long, by one foot three inches broad, and covered by a very perfect 
inscription ol nineteen lines. I have had the good fortune to secure a 
reading and translation of this, both by Babu RajondralSla Mitra and Pro- 
fessor Rtunkrishna Gopal Bhandarkar, M. A., which I now give in original, 
and for which I beg to express my thanks.
