A somewhat similar stone was found built into the side of a square well at Aurāth, not far from Nārāyaṇpur, in the Nizām’s territory; another, a very small one, measuring but eleven inches across, is in the museum of the Bombay Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society. Two more, found near Haidarābād (Dakhan), were presented to the Bombay Government and will be placed in the new Prince of Wales Museum at Bombay. In all of these the signs are shown in their natural order. The last two, which are blocks rather than slabs, have, in addition, the *aṣṭadikpālas* or regents of the eight points of the compass, arranged around the sides of the stones.
