It once happened that the Lord descended from heaven in the shape of Indra[49] in order to convert a king, _Sarvamitra_, who daily drank too much strong liquor with his courtiers. As a _brahmin_ Indra now offers the king a bottle of _sûra_ praising the pernicious properties of this drink in so eloquent a manner that the prince renders homage to the preacher as a _guru_ (teacher), after which the latter admonishes him to fear drinking that he might afterwards live with him in heaven. The sculpture needs no further interpretation. _Seventh_ corner, 3, 4, 5 and 6 (W. L. 65, 66, 67 and 68). In the primeval forest the Lord once lived, as a _brahmin_, a life of severe penitence with six brothers and one sister. Only every fifth day they came together in his hut to hear him proclaim the doctrine. As for the rest they didn’t see each other. Every day their two servants put the eight portions of lotus-stems on the leaves of the lotus, and according to their age they came one by one to fetch their sober meal in order to take it in their own hut. Indra, putting the Bodhisattva to the test, took away the first portion during five following days so that the Lord was obliged to fast. On the next service the others assembled again, and saw how their brother had grown thin. Being informed of the cause of it everyone wished the thief to be punished in a fitting manner, and even three strange auditors, a _yaksha_, an elephant, and a monkey cursed the thief, every one of them in his own manner. The Lord, returning good for evil, hopes that this one and the other that suspected one of them, wrongly perhaps, may live to see all his wishes fulfilled. But then Indra comes, and accusing himself he says why he did so—and humbles himself before the Lord whom he wishes to serve as his superior. On 3 and 4 we see the hermits in the wood. On 5 is to be seen the lotus-pond with the servants seeking for leaves and stems, and on 6 we see Indra humbling himself before the Lord.[50] _Seventh_ corner, 11, 12 and 13 [W. L. 73, 74 and 75]. Another time the Lord, a rich brahmin, left everything he possessed, and accompanied by his wife, who didn’t wish to leave him, he went to the woods to live there a hermit’s life. There they were found by the king who came in this region to chase, and touched as he was by the woman’s beauty he ordered her to be kidnapped and carried away to his _zenana_. In spite of her cry for help her husband doesn’t oppose himself against this robbery, and when the king asks him why he does not the brahmin answers with an oration about the virtue of self-command, and he therefore compels the king to honour him as an ascetic and to ask his pardon. On 11 we see the brahmin and his wife on their way to the wood; on 12 the hunting king, and on 13 the woman’s abduction. _Seventh_ corner, 15, 16, and 17 and the _eighth_ corner, 1 (W. L., 77, 78, 79 and 81).
