11. The other Bodhisattva's render homage to the Bodhisattva
Then at the time of the Bodhisattva's descent, many hundred thousands of Bodhisattva's from the East, all bound to only one birth and dwelling in the beautiful Tu$ita abode, gathered themselves together at the place where the Bodhisattva was, to render him homage. Also from the countries of the ten winds came many hundreds of thousands of Bodhisattva's all bound to only one birth and dwelling in the beautiful Tusita abode, to the place where the Bodhisattva was to render him homage. And from the assembly of the gods of the four Great Kings etc. etc. came eighty four hundred thousand apsaras with the sound of music from many turya's to the place where the Bodhisattva was to render him homage. (50: 15; 51: 1).
In this relief only the homage of the Bodhisattva's is shown, and nothing of the apsaras. The Bodhisattva sits here not in a separate pavilion but his throne is set up in a large hall that fills up the whole of the relief and where the Bodhisattva's are also seated. Next to him is a burning incense stand. The figures seated on the right and left are all in ordinary god's dress, so that without the text it would have been impossible to make out that these are Bodhisattva's and not gods.
