And when the Bodhisattva set out another time through the North gate of the city to go to the pleasure-garden, the gods sons, through the might of the Bodhisattva, caused a monk to appear by the roadside. lithe Bodhisattva saw the monk standing on the road, quiet, tranquil, full of discretion and self-control, not allowing his glance to wander, nor looking further than the length of a yoke, having attained the Path that brings peace of mind and honor, strewing that peace of mind in his forward and his backward steps, peace of mind in the looking and the turning away of his eyes, peace of mind in his bending and his stretching, peace of mind in the wearing of his coat, begging-bowl and monk's frock.

And the Bodhisattva spoke and said: "The life of the wandering monk has always been praised by the wise, therein is salvation for himself and salvation for other beings, the happiness of life, the sweet draught of immortality and the fruit of existence". (191: 12; 192:8, 10),

The monk is here also quite on the right, on a little rise of ground; his right hand against his chest, the left hanging down. He has no bowl but of course the monk's frock. Some of the soldiers are sitting on the ground; those standing behind point to the monk. The carriage resembles that on the preceding relief and the shaft here too is ornamented with a lion; there are now two persons sitting on it besides the coachman, i.e. another servant with a torch or an incense-burner; both look towards the Bodhisattva, behind whom another servant sits on the carriage. The gods, specially mentioned by the text in this scene, again appear on the right hand side of the relief, whose upper edge has no clouds this time, as were given on the three preceding scenes.
