Pabhosā Cave.—The inscriptions record the fact of dedication of the two Pabhosā caves in the neighbourhood of Kauśāmbī to the Kāśyapiya Arhats by king Aṣādhasena of Adhicchatrā. In one of them the donor King Aṣādhasena is introduced as the maternal uncle of king Bṛhaspatimitra (Lüders’ List, No. 904; *E.I.*, X, App.) and in the other we have mention of four generations of kings beginning with Śaunakāyana (B. C. Law, *Pañcālas and their Capital Ahicchatra*, M.A.S.I., No. 67, p. 12).
