great royal ceremony, great royal splendor, and great royal mag nificence. As soon as the Bodhisattva placed the sole of his right foot upon the floor in that temple, the lifeless images of the gods, of Viva, Skanda, Narayana, Kuvera, Candra, Surya, Vai,cravarta, Cakra, Brahma, the Guardians of the world and other images, stood up each from its pedestal and threw themselves at the feet of the Bodhisattva. And all the gods of whom these were the likeness, showed their own shape and spake these verses. (119: 19; 120: 7). The text places the doing homage, inside the temple but the relief gives it outside the building. The temple is on the left side of the scene. It is of two storeys, a double door with a kala-makara ornament, next to that panels of so-called wallpaper-design and pilasters; above, the same pilas ters and windows ornamented with a reversed tricula. The roof slopes straight up; in the centre it is crowned with a cakra between two banners; on the right side of the temple a porch projects supported by columns, and here sits a raksasa as temple-guard with the usual short sword. Two persons look out of the window, probably gods; a third is coming out of the half-open door. Four gods are already outside the temple; three are kneeling, one standing, au make a reverent sembah to the Bodhisattva advancing on the right. Among the gods the one standing and not wearing the usual style of high hair-dressing, but merely a tied-up coil of hair, is probably Brahma, who is also represented elsewhere as Cikhin. The Bodhisattva is standing next to his father, both with haloes and an umbrella over their heads; behind them the suite, sitting and standing servants with the ordinary objects and soldiers armed with swords or bow and arrows. It is curious that the Bodhisattva here au at once has no halo, which he was given in the last relief in the carriage. Observe that here he is for the last time represented as a child, that is to say with a low diadem on his head: on the following reliefs he wears the ordinary royal headdress.
