[...] If these were the positions of the tribes in the time of the Aitareya Brahmana the Indian Aryas must at that time have been acquainted with the wtole country to the north of the Vindhya and a portion to the south-east of that range. [...] On the history of the early centuries of the Christian era and the first century previous however the inscriptions in the cave-temples on the top of the Sallyildri throw a good deal of light. [...] In the longest of the four occurring in the cave-tenuole at one extremity of the hill at Nasik we are told that in nineteenth year of the reign of king Pulumayi the son of Vasshthi the cave was caused eto be constructed and dedicated for the use of Buddhist mendicants of the Bhadrayaniya sect by Gotami the mother of king S'atakarni Gotamiputra.
