v2.c16.93

To the west of the southern room and forming the right wing of the Pātālapura caves there is a small room running east and west, with two doors and a verandah divided into two intercolumniations by a heavy pillar in the middle. At the corner where the verandah starts from the Pātālapura range there is an alto-rilievo figure against the side pier, in imitation of the sentinel before the right wing of the Queen's Palace. The cave is in a very ruinous condition now, and bears the appropriate name of Jamapura or "Hades." The "Exterior View of a Vihāra on the Udayagiri Hill" in Mr. Fergusson's Illustrations of the *Rock-cut Temples of India* represents the three caves of Vaikuṇṭha, Pātālapura and Jamapura.
