W. Hoey— Set Mahet.

ally rising auditorium or gallery. This was curiously confirmed by my 
reading in Weber’s article already quoted, how Pramati made the Brah¬ 
man’s acquaintance at a cockfight outside Sravasti. I now believe that 
this was a cockpit, and certainly it is well suited to such a sport. The 
location is probable, being near an ornamental water and garden and a 
royal residence. The name Panaliiya is probably derived from the 
Sanscrit Pana a wager or gaming. The Jhar is the same as in Ora Jhar. 
It is curious that the only case in which superstition interfered with 
my excavation was at Ora Jhar. When I had cleared the summit and 
was beginning to expose a series of chambers on the south side of the 
crest, the appearance of which was that of chambers on a terrace, it was 
a cold day after rain and a bitter wind was blowing. The gangman, 
who was a Brahman, was seized with a shivering fit and he fell over 
crying that the gods had attacked him, and in his raving said that there 
were seven spirits inside the mound opposing him. He was so horrified 
and weak, that it became necessary to carry him to the grove where the 
labourers usually spent the night, and he lay all night long reasoning 
with his gods and imaginary demons. I could not prevail on his gang 
to resume work then at Ora Jhar, and when I wished to return to the 
place later on, funds were too low to admit of it. 
The pilgrims noted three deep tanks or ditches, where people fell 
living into hell. These are connected with Devadatta, Sundari, and 
Chanscha. They differ as to their relative positions. General Cun¬ 
ningham has announced the identification of these ditches or tanks, but 
he has misplaced them in his maps, and has said nothing as to Ihe rea¬ 
sons of his identifications. The furthest south is Lambhuiha. This is 
probably derived from the Sanscrit root lamb (to sink or fall in), 
bhumi (earth), the place where ‘ earth sank.’ North-by-east of this, at 
the exact distance noted by Hi wen Thsang, is Bhulinalrwan Tal. This is 
the second. The derivation is probably from the Sanscrit bhu (earth), 
+ Una (disappeared or vanished). The third is the gulf which swallowed 
Devadatta. 
The tank marked as this last by General Cunningham lies inside the 
enclosing walls of the monastic establishment round the large stupa 
east of and within the limits of Set. It cannot, therefore, be one 
of the three named by the pilgrims for they all lay outside the Jetavaua. 
I am inclined to think it must be Kundalivva or Parsaliwa, for near each 
is a mound containing brick ruins, probably those of buildings com¬ 
memorative of some such story. It is immaterial which we assume it to 
be. The building near Parsahwa I opened, but it seemed to be a fane 
of some kind raised over an older building. Kundaliwa might be a 
corruption of hand , a tank, but it is worth noting that kunda is also a
