The inner side of the lids were inscribed, one with \*Sāriputasa\* and the other with \*Mahā-Mogalānasa\*. Both the caskets, 5 cm high, have a convex bottom and a small conical member at the crown. Sāriputra's casket has a mildly tapering body, while the body of the Maudgalyāyana's casket presents a concave curvature. Within the relic chamber (located at the centre) of Stūpa 7 were found two earthen covers with domical tops. Inside both of them was an earthen box closed by a domed lid. Within one of these boxes was an earthen \*ghaṭa\*-shaped vase containing relics. The other box yielded two small relic caskets, one of steatite and the other of red earthenware, both with a flat base, moulded sides and a conical member at the crown. - [Previous: v1.c17.s8.12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c17.s8.12) - [Next: v1.c17.s8.14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c17.s8.14) - [Up: v1.c17.s8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c17.s8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c17.s8.13](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c17.s8.13) · Pramāṇa
