ABSTRACT
In Dacca two Ákhá _rás are still open; one, situated at Háthíghat, is about eighty years old. The first Mahant was one Balaram, a Hindustání Bráhman, the fourth in descent from whom is the present Mahant, Hardev Dás, and Adh-Gau_r Bráhman from Mírat. The other Ákhá_ra, in Chaudharí Bazár, was built by one K _rishna Moní Bairáganí, about twenty years ago.
