History
They are mentioned by Cunningham[1] in an inscription at the Buddhist Stupa of Sanchi of the Ashoka period as under:
1. Devānam(piya) Magadhe (raja).
2. . . (a)bhi(vādemā)nam Chetiyagiri.
3. . tikhi-cha(Dha)magiri . ikeye sangham.
4. bhokhati-bhikhunābhikhāmavisedāto.
5. nidu . ti sanani . . chhava annā
6. Sasivi(ye) petaviye. Ichhahime Sān-
7. -ti Sangham samage milathitike siyāti.
The drift of this inscription, at least as I understand it, seems to be the following- :—
- " Devanampriya, king- of Magadha, offers his salutation to the community of Chaityagiri (and perhaps to that of Dharmagiri also) . . . with a gift of food for the Bhikshus, much emaciated (with their austerities ?) . . . and prays that the Santi community may always be united."
In my account of the great Sanchi Tope I have already identified the present name of Sanchi with the Sanskrit Sānti, which I presume was the name of the great Vihar on the Chetiyagiri, or "Hill of Chaityas" If my reading of Dhamagiri he correct, we may identify the " hill of religion" in the long spur which stretches northward as far as Kānākhera. This hill is still covered with ruins, which no douht once formed a part of the vast religious establishment of Sanchi-kānākhera.
