¹ Kātyāyana and Patañjali refer to this hill as Khalatika parvata (*Mahābhāṣya* I. ii. 2). The same hill or a part of it as Dr. R. K. Mookerji surmises (*Aśoka*, p. 205 n) came to be known as Gorathagiri as is evident from the Hathigumpha cave inscription of Khāravela and also other inscriptions. Again there was a change in the name according to an inscription in the Lomaśa Ṛṣi cave of the Barābar hills. It came to be known Pravara hill. Now this hill is well known as Barābar Hill containing a number of cave Inscriptions.
