L. A. Waddell —Discovery of Buddhist Remains [No. I, 
race, about 2| feet above the plane of its stupa-figures below, and a por¬ 
tion of this old surface, about four feet above tbe site of ZoZa-print, 
lias escaped dislodgement by the blasting and shows towards its lower 
border a commencing area of high polish. Finally the ZoZa'-print was 
situated on the southern portion of the hill (see Plate I) as stated by 
the pilgrim. 
Foot-prints of the Yaksha. —5th. “ Not far to the south-east of this 
“ spot are the foot-traces of the Yaksha Vakula. They are about 1 
“ foot 5 or 6 inches long, 7 or 8 inches wide and in depth less than 2 
“ inches.” In the exact direction and position here indicated, viz.., 
south-east from the ZoZa-mark and at a distance of about 100 yards, were 
the two “footprints of Lorik ” (see No. 4 on Plate I.) These marks, 
which were well-known to the villagers were blown up only four years 
ago. The two footprints were each about 18" long by 7 or 8 inches 
wide (described by villagers respectively as one hath (cubit) and two 
palm-breadths) and about 2 inches in depth. The divisions of the 
toes were clearly incised, and the surrounding stone was highly 
polished. One footprint was in front of the other, and they tended 
S. E. in the direction of Lorik-ka ghar , the abode of the yaksha. 
I would here refer to the unfortunately erratic manner in which these 
blasting operations are being conducted. At this particular part of the 
hill the only portion of the rock blasted was that which contained these 
two footprints and about 1J feet on either side of them—as if this over¬ 
seer (a European) had purposely demolished these ancient marks. I 
believe the fact really is, that these markings were made on the most 
compact and undecomposed rock—the so-called jitd pathar ‘ the living 
stone ’ of the quarriers, and its highly polished surface attracted their 
unkind attention. 
Colossal statue of Buddha. —6th. “ Behind these traces of the Yaksha 
“ is a stone figure of Buddha in sitting posture about six or seven feet 
“ high.” No superficial trace of this image now exists, unless a small 
splinter of basalt, which I found a few yards lower down and which had 
formed part of some image, can be considered as such. At this site, 
however, is a hollow, between two shoulders of rock, which has become 
filled up with the debris of ages, so it is possible that excavation here 
might reveal traces of this statue. 
Buddha's promenade. —7th. “Next to the west (of Yaksha’s foot¬ 
prints), not far off is a place where Buddha walked for exercise.” 
In the situation here indicated is a narrow level tract between two long 
massive shoulders of rock, see Plate No. III. Before the great accumu- 
lation of debris had taken place, the rock on either side must have 
stood up like walls and bounded a rocky lane—a most suitable pro-
