"In Nepal, according to Hodgson, and, I believe, in Tibet, the monuments, which are called Stupas in India, are there called Chaityas. Etimologically, this is no doubt the correct designation, as chaitya like stupa, means primarily a heap or tumulus." (Fergusson, Hist. of Ind. and East. Arch., p. 50, note 2).
