Description Provenance Inscription Credit
Description The sixteen arhats associated with the Buddha Shakyamuni were disciples who may be considered Buddhist saints. Two of them appear here, and probably the other fourteen were depicted on seven thankas belonging to the same set. Around Chudapanthaka (above) are flying rocks that suggest the he is meditating in a cave. Below is Pindola Bharadvaja. Secondary figures include cosmic Buddhas, an angry protector deity for each arhat, and attendant monks.
