Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on the Excavations at Pātaliputra (Patna): The Palibothra of the Greeks Although it was not one of the very oldest cities of India, it was the seat of the most powerful ancient dynasties, and it has given us, through the narrative of a Greek ambassador to its court, our first fixed landmark in Indian chronology. Its buried ruins also doubtless still hide invaluable materials for reconstructing much of the lost history of early India, and especially for solving that important question as to the influence of the West upon the early civilization of Ancient India.

Excerpt: ...latter point (20 on map and 19 on plan II) is the celebrated holy well, called the 'Agam Kuan? 1 Thus were obtained the carved post (plate II, fig. 3) and door jamb, the cross-bars of railing (plate V), a scroll architrave, evidently of Asoka's age. Of those still fixed in walls is the image of the preaching Buddha which is in old sandstone and is extremely interesting in that the attitude of the fingers is identical with that still figured conventionally by the Japanese and Tibetans in representing certain mystical Buddhas. This sacred well, the name of which literally seems to mean 'the Fiery Well, ' appears to me to be a surviving vestige of the so-called 'hell' of Asoka with its fiery cauldrons, which the later monkish legend credited Asoka with having deliberately made to torture poor people, Nero-like, in the days before his conversion to Buddhism.1 What we know, however, of Asoka as a brave soldier and kind-hearted man goes quite against the credibility of this story, and the reference in his edict-inscription (No. VIII) that 'in past days the Kings went on pleasure excursions, stag-hunting, &c., ' the simple tone of such passages, as Dr. Kern well says, is "calculated to awaken in us the conviction that the atrocities attributed by the later Buddhists to their benefactor rests upon a misunderstanding. The stories of both the Northern and Southern Buddhists to which it is usual to give the specious name of 'traditions' differ among themselves to such an extent as to be suspicious on that ground alone. The ninety-nine-fold fratricide committed, as is stated by Asoka, is related with such circumstantiality that its untruth is palpable.
