(1) Called by Hsuan-chwang Indra-sila-guha, or “The cavern of Indra.” It has been identified with a hill near the village of Giryek, on the bank of the Panchana river, about thirty-six miles from Gaya. The hill terminates in two peaks overhanging the river, and it is the more northern and higher of these which Fâ-Hien had in mind. It bears an oblong terrace covered with the ruins of several buildings, especially of a vihâra.
