"Siṁhāsanāya—on the lion 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 (pillars). Lion throne, royal throne, throne...........In this case there was actually a large lion, whose fine proportions remind one of the Assyrian bulls and which formed the support, or one of the supports, of the royal seat. A frieze of lions runs round the building." Rhys Davids.
