Other identifications, which appear to me to be certain, are the following: 1. The “Anomâ River," over which Prince Sâkya Sinha leaped his horse Chandaka, with the Kúdawá Nala, or “ Leaped River.” 2. The three Stûpas of "Chandaka's Return,” the.“ Cut Hair,” and the “Changed Garments," with three mounds in the neighbourhood
