In these sculptures I could not have recognised any continuous series. Among many a domestic and some rural scenes I saw two or three fowlings with a pea-shooter or bow and arrow (M 5 and 3), and one fishing (I 6); one war-dance (C 5) and some other dancings on the occasion of which a wind-instrument provided with a bagpipe (S 2 and R. 17) was played on. Further there are offerings of food or flowers to Bodhisattvas or other venerable personalities, and once to the Dhyâni-Buddha Amitâbha, the Redeemer of this world (K 3), by six crowned men and to be distinguished by their glories (Bodhisattvas perhaps?) On one sculpture (K 2) Amitâbha (?) has been four times represented as an ascetic in the wilderness. Sometimes there are hewed demons or _raksyasas_, most often attacking or killing other people (M 2, 3, 6, 7 and 8); _tyaityas_ are to be seen more than once (U 3, T 6, 4 and 3, K 4, G 6, F 6, E 6, D 8, 6 and 3, and C¹ 6). _Bodhi_-trees covered by _payongs_ and some _gandharvas_ under their shade, such as to be found more than once in the _Parambanan_ ruins and speaking of _Buddhism_ even there, have been hewed five times (K 6, G 4, F 3 (_bis_) E 4 and C¹ 6), and once with a _payong_ only (D 1). _Vishnu’s tyakra_ has been once represented on a lotus-cushion in the sky (C 2). Concluding word. In a small compass I suppose to have mentioned all that may be discussed about the _three_ buddhistic monuments speaking in this valley, on the two banks of the river _Prågå_, of a former high civilisation and of a very developed art. Those who require, or desire, a better insight into the ancient Buddhism, and those who wish to know more about its sanctuaries to be found here in Java and elsewhere in India, are kindly referred to the works I consulted by the study of this subject, and to those I wrote myself and which have been for the greater part mentioned in or at the bottom of the text of this little book. Granting Buddhism to have been lost in Java and elsewhere in India,—yet, it still exists, more or less degenerated, still counting more followers than any other religion ever counted, and its lucky freedom from bigotry, especially in the hînayânistic countries, and noble doctrine of love and self-command is raised above all suspicion[85]. _Jogjakartå_, October, November 1906, and 1911.
