■elephants, of human figures of both fexes, and of Eudha, 
who i,s reprefented in feme places as fitting crofs-legged, 
in others he is ereft, and in all attended by figures in the 
act of adoration ; and, in one place, two figures handing 
on the lotus are fanning him, while others hold a rich 
crown over his head. I think therefore, that it is beyond 
dilpute, that the whole was dedicated to Budha.” 
The farther end of the cave is round, the fides ftraight; 
a row of pillars, ten feet from the fides, fupport kneeling 
elephants, on which are feated human figures, all beauti¬ 
fully fculptured. From a cornice, running the whole 
length of the temple over the heads of the figures, fpring 
ribs of wood forming an arch, and touching in its whole 
concavity the roof which they feem to fupport. This is 
a Angularity not known to exift elfewhere. The wooden 
libs are not more than three feet apart, and about two in 
depth, and nine inches thick, and have fomething the ap¬ 
pearance of a Ihip’s bottom inverted. They run parallel 
to each other, forming a fine arch, from fide to fide of the 
apartment. The pillars are fixteen in number on each 
fide, with a fpace between equal to the diameter of their 
ball, viz. about four feet. The pedeftals are fquare, the 
{hafts polygonal. Seven plainer columns continue the line 
at the end : on them relis an architrave, whence an arch 
fiprings inwards, forming a roof over the altar, as it may 
be called, which in the Hindoo Pantheon is laid to “con- 
iiil of a vaft hemifphere of ftone, refting on a round pe- 
deftal of greater diameter, and having its convexity fur- 
mounted by a fort of canopy or umbrella of peculiar con- 
firuftion. The principal arched temple of Kenera is ex¬ 
actly on the fame plan of that here defcribed, and the altar 
is alike in both. That at Ellora, defcribed by fir Charles 
Malet, in vol. vi. of the Afiatic Refearclies, is alfo exaftly 
fimilar in relpedt to ground-plan, but the principal object 
is different, being Budha himfelf, with the feini-giobe on 
the round pedeltal behind him. In neither of thefe three 
arched caves will, I think, be found any fculptures re¬ 
ferring to the gods of the Brahmans ; and thefe three are 
the only caves that I ever faw or heard of conftrutled with 
an arched roof. And I prefume to hazard an opinion that 
they are of modern origin, relatively with other excava¬ 
tions at Ellora and on Elephanta, containing, with and 
without Budha, many of the deities now worlhipped by 
the Brahmans. Sir Charles Malet’s plate of Ellora gives 
exactly a reprefentation of the temples of Karly and Ke- 
nerah as far as regard ground-plan and general defign ; 
and they muft certainly have originated in the fame perion, 
as one has been taken from the other. The capitals of 
the interior pillars, from which the arched roofs fpring, 
are different: at Ellora they appear to be men in the abt 
of adoration; at Karly the entablatures are elegantly 
formed of figures of men and women feated on kneeling 
elephants, whole probofci, joining at the angles, form, in 
graceful curves, the volutes of the capitals.”

KARNKOW'SKI (Stanillaus), a Polifh writer and 
flntefman, was born in 1525. He became biftiop of Ula- 
diflaw about 1563; and, upon the death" of Sigifmond 
Auguftus, king of Poland, in 1572, he promoted the 
election of Henry of Valois, and, bn his reception, made 
an eloquent harangue to him in the name of the ftates. 
After the abdication of this prince, Karnkowlki nomina¬ 
ted Anne, the filter of the late Sigifmond, queen of Po¬ 
land, and crowned her hufband, Stephen Battori, upon 
the refufal of the primate to perforin this oifice. For his 
reward he was made coadjutor to the archbilhop of Gnef- 
na, and in 15S1 he fucceeded to that fee and to the pri¬ 
macy. On the death of king Stephen, he fat as prefident 
of the directory during the interregnum, and oppofed the 
election, made by a party, of Maximilian archduke of 
Aultria. He placed the crown upon the head of Sigif¬ 
mond III. prince of Sweden, who was acknowledged by 
the kingdom. See the article Sweden. He died in 1603, 
at the age of fevenfy-eight, and was interred in the Jefuits’ 
college at Kalifh, which he had founded. He eftabliftied 
leminaries for education both at Uladiflaw and Gnefna, 
and occupied himfelf with luccels in the reform of his cler¬

KAR'OLI (Jafper), an Hungarian Calvinift divine, 
who fiourifhed within the laft tu'enty years of the fixteentli 
century. We are furniftied with no other particulars re¬ 
lative to his life, than that he was held in high eftimatiore 
for his abilities as a philofopher, theologian, and philolo- 
gift, and much admired as a preacher. By the Proteftants 
in Hungary his memory is revered, on account of his 
having tranflated the Bible from the original Hebrew into 
their native language. This performance is warmly com¬ 
mended in fome poems by George Thurius, inferted in 
John Philip Pareus’s Delicia Poet arum Hungarorum ; and, 
if we may conclude from its reception by the public, with¬ 
out any exaggeration. It was publiftied at Hanover in 
1608, in 4to. and during the fame year at Frankfort, in 
8vo. revifed and corrected by Albert Molnar. This im.- 
proved edition was reprinted at Oppenheim in 1612, in

fions at different places, and in particular at Nuremberg in 
1704, in 4to. Moreri.
