P. 545 (476). Watters (II., p. 178 *ff.*) correctly transcribes it as Irinaparvata (इरिणपर्वत) or Barren Hill. Y. Ch. (II., p. 178 *ff.*) mentioned that on the W. frontier of this country to the S. of the Ganges was a solitary mt. where Buddha subdued the Yaksha Vakula. Dr. Waddel (J.A.S.B., 1892, p. 1) identifies it with Mt. Uren [=I-lan-na ; about 20 m. S.W. from Mungir City and 7 m. S. of the present course of the Ganges] where are ruins, statues, old inscriptions and a foot-print of Buddha.
