As short as possible I shall successively treat these sculptures, mentioning again their numbers they refer to when counted from the preceding staircase, and afterwards from the first till the ninth reentering or projecting wall angle, and begin again from the _eastern_ staircase, and walk towards the South. Doing this I’ll have to count in the disappeared and consequently _missing_ sculptures—and many of them have been lost on the front wall—, because otherwise the numbers after each new loss would become quite worthless. _Corner_-sculptures are those which occupy the two sides of a wall angle, in Leemans’ engravings divided in two by a perpendicular line. Let us begin with the upper series on the front wall after the _eastern_ staircase. _Second_ corner, 3, 4 and 5 (W. L., 16, 17, and 18.)[46]. The Lord once lived as a _rich man_ who did much good. One day rising from table to fill the beggar’s bag of a monk, Mâra, the Evil Spirit, opened a precipice before his feet wherein he saw hell flaming. But the Lord steps through this precipice, remains uninjured, and favors the monk, in reality a _Pratyéka-Buddha_, a heavenly saint, with a gift and the latter afterwards disappears in a brilliant cloud. On 3 we see the benefactor with his gifts, on 4 he steps through hell, and on 5 the monk ascends to heaven. Hell is represented here by condemned persons in a cauldron with boiling contents. _Second_ corner 11 and 12 (W. L. 24 and 25). The _Bodhisattva_ once lived as a hare in a wilderness frequented by many hermits. Her authority over all other animals was honoured even in heaven. In order to put her to the test, Indra, the god, descends to her in the shape of an exhausted traveller. An otter brings him fish, a jackal presents him with a lizard and a cup of sour milk (left behind by another traveller), and a monkey favors him with juicy fruit to refresh the man. But the hare who could give nothing else but bitter grass flung herself into a fire (burned by Indra’s will) in order to be taken by the poor man as roasted food. But now Indra shows himself again in his divine shape, saves the hare out of the flames, and carries her to heaven in order to adorn his own palace, and that of the _dévas_, and also the moon, with the hare’s picture[47]. On 11 the animals carry their presents to _Indra_, and on 12 the hare is going to fling herself into the fire. _Second_ corner, 18, the corner-sculpture and 1 and 2 after the _third_ corner (W. L., 31, 32, 33 and 34). The Lord as a _king_ of a happy people. Five _yakshas_ (demons), expelled from _Kuvera_’s kingdom, the subterranean god of riches, come to tempt him in order to ruin him. They ask him for a good meal, but refuse the best things the king offers them, and demand human blood and human flesh.
