53. Hrideva rouses the Bodhisattva to fulfil his destiny
At that time, about when the Bodhisattva should depart, there came a Tusitakayika gods son named Hrideva, one who was given to the highest and most perfect Wisdom, in the sound ess night, surrounded and followed by thirty two thousand gods sons, to the palace where the Bodhisattva dwelt and spoke out of the air to the Bodhisattva, these verses: '~What death is, has been set forth, o radiant one; and what birth is, has been expounded, o lion among men. In giving instruction to the women's apartment, thou hast followed the custom of the world. Many in the world of gods and men have become ripe and have attained the Law. The time is now come; consider well thy resolve to depart." (183: 16).
The palace of the Bodhisattva on the right of the relief, is surrounded by a palissade, going first round the bottom edge of the relief and then turning upwards, where there appears a gateway. The Bodhisattva sits on a throne in a pavilion, the right leg in the sling; next to him on a cushion three women very much damaged, yet evidently asleep. Outside the pavilion left, and still inside the palissade are three peacocks; above that Hrideva hovers on a cloud, making a sembah, with the other heavenly ones. Outside the gate sits the armed guard; some of the soldiers are asleep too and help to shew that it is nighttime. The one nearest to the gate wears his hair like a yaksa. In the background rises a pendapa with doves perched on its roof and the foliage of some trees shews above.
