³ E. g. Sirpur in Rāipur District, C. P. (Cunningham, *A. S. Rep.*, vol. vii, p. 168; vol. xvii, p. 23, with plates): Bilsar, in Etah District, U. P. (ibid., xi. 17): Pālī, N. W. of Gayā (ibid., xiv, p. 52): Pāroli, N. of Gwālior (ibid., xx. 105). See also Cousens (*Progr. Rep. A. S., W. India*, 1903–4). The sculptures at Nāchnā or Kūtharā in the Ajaygaṛh State, Bundelkhand, approximately contemporary with those of Dēogarh, are described by Cunningham (*Rep.*, xxi, 96) as 'being much superior to all mediaeval sculptures, both in the ease and gracefulness of their attitudes as well as in the real beauty of the forms'.
