Mount Vipula is clearly identical with the Wepullo of the Pali annals; and as its summit is now crowned with the ruins of a lofty stupa or chaitya, which is noticed by Hwen Thsang, I would identify it with the Chaityaka of the Mahâbhârata. Regarding the other two mountains, I have nothing at present to offer, but I may mention that they are also crowned with small Jain temples.
