A snug but otherwise unspecified underground cave (note 1) at the grassy Tapovan or Tabovan, Tapoban, and Tapovan (note 2) was used as a troglodyte hermitage retreat (note 3) by a certain Shimla Baba [note 4], one of the holymen who spent each summer in contemplation, aided, let it be said, by a transistor radio (AITKEN 1992: 81).
