³ In the inscription on the Chaitya cave, No. xxvi., at Ajantâ, we read that "The ascetic Sthavira Achala, who glorified the faith and was grateful, caused to be built a mountain dwelling (sailagriha) for the Teacher, though his desires were fulfilled" (Arch. Surv. West. Ind. Reports, Vol. IV. p. 135). This apparently decides the name of the Arhat mentioned here. But, as the Chinese translation of the name is So-hing (he who does, or, the doer), we retain the equivalent Achâra.
