Bitabhaya-pattana—Biha. eleven miles south-west of Allahabad on the right bank of the Jamuna (\*Vira-charitra\* of the Jainas quoted by General Cunningham in \*Arch. S. R-p.\*, vol. 3). But from seals found by Sir John Marshall at Bhiṭā, the ancient name of the place appears to be Vichhi and Vichhi-grâma, and not Bitabhaya-pattana (\*JRAS.\*, 1911, p. 127).
