An unspecified "cave" (note 1) of the dimension »40-30« (feet?) where »cattle live« (human use: cow shed) reported the Chakrata Tahsildar (1941.02.05 Mss) from one village of Monug (note 2) in the »Dhanao khat« (note 3), 30 km on foot or horse back in an unspecified direction from Chakrata (30°42'N: 77°51'E).
