This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1892 Excerpt: ...long garlands. On either side of the wheel stand eight male worshippers, in Indian costume, and eight deer. My Plate shows the right half of this lintel; which is broken in two. Between the two principal figures, who wear no necklaces, but have long scarves, is a small three-petalled plant; and behind the group, are four trees; one of which somewhat resembles that elsewhere called the "bodhi " of Vipaswi Bhagavata. Another may be a "Jambu " but the three smaller trees are too conventional to be even conjecturally identified. On the other side of this lintel, is a long procession entering the gates of a city, or palace; whence it is watched by numerous spectators. It appears to represent the same, or a continuation of the same subject as that on the top lintel (Plate XXVII.). Some of the shields are of peculiar pattern; and are shown in Plate XXXV. On the cubical portions, are seated winged lions; and kneeling caparisoned horses; (whose heads are shown in Plate XV., Figs. 14, 15). The third, or top lintel (" Bhilsa Topes," I. 227 to 229; and my Plate XXVII.), has, on one side, what appears to be part of the subject first described. A long procession, escorting a relic-casket, is entering a city, or palace; whence it is watched by numerous (chiefly female) spectators. With a few exceptions, noted below, all the costumes are Indian. The procession is headed by three horsemen, and a led horse, which are already inside the gateway; and consists of horsemen; a second led horse; soldiers; musicians and other attendants on foot, some evidently foreigners; ( and several elephants; one of whose mahawats, carries a relic-casket. Just outside the gateway, is a tree, with an altar; apparently the Sal a, or "bodhi" of Viswabhu; be...
