278 A. M. Broadley — The Buddhistic Remains of Bihdr. [No. 3, 
exactly a hundred feet square and apparently once flanked with a tower at 
either corner, like the smaller temple recently partly uncovered at Nalanda. 
The modern village of Titrawan is to the east of these ruins. Four hundred 
and forty-five feet to the south-east of the building above mentioned is a 
small temple, around which were grouped upwards of two hundred purely 
Buddhistic figures, many of them of exquisite beauty. I shall give a detail- 
ed description of them further on. Two hundred and thirty-eight feet to 
the south of the temple is another enormous tank, running due east and west 
and measuring 11G0 feet by 780. The distance between the ruined vihara 
and the side of the pond is 505 feet. The tank bears the name of the Sri 
Bullum, or Bhairau-Pokhar. At a distance of 500 feet from the south-east 
corner, and facing immediately the great mass of the ruins, there is a luxu- 
riant pipal tree under the shade of which is a colossal Buddha. The figure 
is placed in a brick platform, which has evidently been frequently repaired, 
and is supported by a small brick tower, or buttress, built behind the idol. 
In front a flight of steps descends to the shore of the lake. Tho image has 
been broken in two and again set up. It rests on two thrones, the lower of 
which is six feet six inches long, and is in three pieces joined together by 
iron clamps. It is divided into five compartments. In the outer one on 
either side there is a lion-couchant, and in the centre a lion-rampant. The 
two remaining ones are filled by the figures of devotees in the act of making 
an offering. 
The throne is exactly one foot ten inches high. The second throne is 
in one piece, and is one foot two inches high and six feet long. It consists 
of a double row of fourteen lotus leaves ; — the Buddhist creed being inscrib- 
ed on ten leaves of the upper one — a word in each. The letters of this in- 
scription are about an inch long. The figure is in the attitude of meditation, 
and the hair is knotted. The nose is very little damaged. I give its di- 
mensions in detail.
