The position of Giryek corresponds so exactly, both in bearing and distance, with that of the hill of *Indra-sila-guha*, that I feel quite satisfied of their identity. No etymology has yet been proposed for the name of Giryek; but it seems to me not unlikely that it is nothing more than *Giri* + *eka*, “one hill,” that is, the hill of the isolated rock of Fa-Hian.
