split and fallen in ruins – it is an architectural
fantastic freak of nature. A brook falls gushing
down from one of the highest points of the
Cleven, and drives a little mill. It looks like a
plaything which the mountain sprite had placed

Large masses of fallen stone blocks lie dispersed
round about; nature has spread them in the
forms of carved cornices. The most significant
way of describing Kinnakulla’s rocky wall is to
call it the ruins of a mile-long Hindostanee
temple: these rocks might be easily
transformed by the hammer into sacred places like the
Ghaut mountains af Ellara. If a Brahmin were
to come to Kinnakulla’s rocky wall, he would
recognise the temple of Cailasa, and find in the
clefts and crevices whole representations from
Ramagena and Mahaharata. If one should then
speak to him in a sort of gibberish – no matter
what, only that, by the help of Brockhaus’s
"Conversation-Lexicon" one might mingle
therein the names of some of the Indian
spectacles: – Sakantala, Vikramerivati, Uttaram
