v2.c18.81

**Modern temples.** On the other side of the river opposite the Daśāśvamedha Ghāṭ, there is a modern room, which was built by a cloth merchant about a hundred years ago, and in it are deposited a great number of more or less mutilated sculptures of ancient date, picked up from different parts of the town and its neighbourhood. Among them there is a set of seven images representing the Mātṛs. They are of small size; but in their details exact counterparts of those at Puri, and of the three noticed above. There should have been eight in all, but one is missing.
