¹ Beal, *Records*, i, 182; ii, 88, 273; Watters, Index, s.v., Upagupta; Growse, *Mathurā*, 3rd ed., p. 142; Cunningham, *Reports*, xx, 32. The tradition may be true. 76 *stūpas* and 2 monasteries of about the sixth century a. d. have been found at Mīrpur Khās (*Ann. Rep. A. S. Western Circle*, 1916–17, p. 47) and 1 *stūpa* has been found at Tāndo Muhammad Khān (ibid., 1914–15, p. 66). The identity of Tissa, son of Moggali, the hero of the Ceylon tales, with the real personage Upagupta has been demonstrated by Waddell (*J. A. S. B.*, 1897, part i, p. 76; *Proc. A. S. B.*, 1899, p. 70). There is no sufficient reason to identify Tissa with the Mogaliputa of the Sāñchī relic caskets (*Bhīlsa Topes*, pp. 115, 120).
