References to these extraordinary routes are not confined to the two texts mentioned above. They are met with in the Vimānavatthu, the Jātakas, Milindapañha, Vāyu Purāṇa, Matsya Purāṇa, Kātyāyana’s Vārtika and Gaṇapāṭha¹. None of these, however, mentions a large number of them, and the Purāṇas alone add a new one, Kharapatha, which is evidently to be explained in the same way as Ajapatha, substituting ass (khara) for goat (aja).
