When the prince had grown up in this way, he was brought to the school with hundred thousands of good wishes, surrounded and followed by ten thousand boys and ten thousand carts filled with delicious food and things good to eat and filled with gold and silver.

As soon as the Bodhisattva had entered the school, Vicvamitra the schoolmaster, fell with his face to the ground, for the majesty and radiance of the Bodhisattva was greater than he could bear. When a Tusitakaylka gods son named Cubhangga, saw him lying thus, he took him by the right hand and raised him up. (123: 15; 124: 9).

We have ventured to omit the further description given in the text of the procession that escorted the prince to school, the instruments of music, the strewing of flowers, the young girls on the balconies and galleries of the houses, the gods daughters and other demi-godlike beings who joined the troop; because the relief shews nothing of all this. Instead, the sculptor gives him a rather misplaced military escort, the more unsuitable, because he leaves out the boys with the carts of good things for distribution etc. that are mentioned in the first place by the text. The procession advances from the left. In front come two men in full dress, one with an umbrella over him, doubtless the king and his son, who has no halo. Behind them, kneeling and standing servants with the usual objects and soldiers with sword, bow and arrows. In front of the royal persons kneels the schoolmaster and behind him stands a second very much damaged figure. This reception takes place before the entrance to the school: just behind the master the school gateway can be seen next to which a palissade begins. On the gateway a pair of peacocks are perched; a third is flying towards them. Inside the palissade a pendapa can be discerned, which according to the next relief is used for a school building At the door are two figures, one holding a book, who will be a pupil, while on the extreme right the schoolmaster has sunkdownovercome and is being assisted by the gods son in brahman dress who holds his right hand. This part is vely much damaged and worn away. On this relief we see represented two consecutive episodes showing the same person twice.
