The inscription of King Khāravela in the Hāthī Gumphā, or Elephant Cave, is of the second century B. C., but not precisely dated, as formerly supposed (Fleet, \*J. R. A. S.\*, 1910, p. 242). See \*Imp. Gaz.\* (1908), \*s. v.\* Khandagiri; \*Ann. Rep. A. S., India\*, 1902–3, pp. 40–2. The best account of the caves is that by Bābū Monmohan Chakravarti in \*Gaz. Purī District\* (1908).

(1910), vol. ii, pp. 9–18. - [Previous: c9.s2.85](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c9.s2.85) - [Next: c9.s2.87](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c9.s2.87) - [Up: c9.s2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c9.s2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c9.s2.86](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c9.s2.86) · Pramāṇa
