- 1901, Isaac Groneman, translated by A. Dolk, The Hindu Ruins in the Plain of Parambanan[1], translation of original in Dutch:
- The urna is not worn by all, nor the monastic dress of the magnificent image of the Buddhistic prince on the right side of the great Buddha in the chanḍi Mĕndut.

- 2009, David Reed, The Rough Guide to Nepal[3], page 107:
- Between the eyes is a curl of hair (urna), one of the identifying features of a Buddha, and the thing that looks like a nose is a miraculous light emanating from the urna (it can also be interpreted as the Nepali figure “one”, conveying the unity of all things).
