Note 49 — Chapter V · WORSHIP OF THE MALEVOLENT DEAD.
Reading edition
Many other buildings are said to have been built in the same way. The Bârahkhamba at Shikârpur in the Bulandshahr District was built by demons; Baliya in Pilibhît was the work of Bali, the Daitya; the demon Loha or Lohajangha built Lohâban in Mathura.49 In the same way the Cornish giants built chiefly in granite, and the Hack and Cast embankment was constructed by them.50 In Patna the Asura Jarâsandha is the reputed builder of an enormous embankment which is called Asuren after him, and another demon of the same class is said to be the architect of an ancient fortification in Puraniya.51
