From the *Bodhi-drúm* Hwen Thsang crossed the river *Nairanjan*, and visited a stupa named *Gandha-hasti*, or the "Scented Elephant," near which there was a tank and a stone pillar.[*] The ruins of the stupa and the lower portion of the shaft of the pillar still exist at Bakror, on the eastern bank of the Lilâjan river, about 1 mile to the south-east of Bauddha-Gaya.
