There is also a cave, locally called Kho, in the hill which [the cave?] contains two illegible inscriptions on the rock inside« (Glennie, Edward Aubrey (s.a. circa 1948 Mss: Preliminary Record; GLENNIE 1959: 31 after DRAKE BROCKMANN 1911 District Gazetteers of the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh , volume XXVII: Mirzapore District, page 281).
