Evidence of this flood has been obtained in the form of a very pronounced erosion on the river-side edge of the mound; and at its toe there lay higgledy-piggledy the washed-away material. Besides, in four out of the six borings made in the river-bed itself, a part of the eroded material has been encountered at a depth of nearly 15 m below the water level. The devastation indeed was so great that the inhabitants had to flee the place. - [Previous: v2.c35.132](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c35.132) - [Next: v2.c35.134](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c35.134) - [Up: v2.c35](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c35) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c35.133](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c35.133) · Pramāṇa
