‘In this (city of Benares there was) a place, renowned on earth (bathed in the white light) of the bright rays of the moon (as they fell on its) lofty turrets; charming with the gracefulness of the wives of the various inhabitants of the (beautiful and extensive, *lit.* whose extent was charming) streets.’—(Benares inscrip. of Pantha, v. 2, *Ep. Ind.*, Vol. IX, pp. 60, 61.)
