The story of Simhaasanadvaatrims'ika can be seen as a legendified story of such digs.

Dear List-ists

Are you aware of any mentions of digs for hidden treasures - in ancient Indian literature (Sanskrit, Pali, Prakrits)? One of such explorations is described in Buddhaghosa's Sumangalavilasini, another one - in the Mahabharata (I, 017-030).
