Then the oldest Cakya's, men and women, gathered together, came to king Cuddhodana and spake thus: "O king, this thou should know, the prince must be brought to the temple". And he answered and said: "It is well, let the prince be brought there." ( 118: 3).

Here again the king is sitting with his son on his knee, he is placed quite in front because those with whom he converses are outside the pendapa. Behind him and inside the building, some female attendants are kneeling; the front one who has nothing in her hands and on whose hip the king rests his hand, might be Gautami, but according to the text, she was not present at the conversation, as the king informs her later, on his return to the palace, of his commands for the procession to the temple. On the right, outside the pendapa, are sitting servants and guards. On the left stand and sit a number of persons, men and women, whom we must consider the Cakya's and their followers; the front one, who has a vase in the hand, seems to be a brahman. This group is very much damaged; but it is still clear that in any case those sitting at the back, as well as the three figures standing, the last ones with a fly-whisk and gifts in their hands, belong to the staff of attendants. In the background there are some trees.
