Gandhahasti-stûpa—Bakraur on the Phalgu, opposite to Buddha-Gaya, visited by Hiuen Tsiang. Maltaṅgi, which is a corruption of Mâtaṅga Liṅga appertained formerly to Gandha-hasti stûpa (Mâtaṅga meaning an elephant). This Buddhist place of pilgrimage has now been appropriated by the Hindus under the name of Mâtaṅga-âsrama and it now contains a liṅga of the Mahâdeva called Mâtaṅgeśa and a tank called Mâtaṅga-vâpî. See Gayâ.
