Of the isolated Mauryan finds from Patna the most important are two nude polished sandstone torsos of Jaina \*tīrthaṅkaras\* found at Lohanipur with the plinth of a brick structure on the footing of which was found a worn-out punch-marked coin and the renowned life-size \*yakṣī\*, also of polished sandstone, from Didargang—one of the most remarkable sculptures of early historical India (Gupta, 1965).
