The footprint of Buddha, otherwise called Śrīpāda and Ratna-pāda. It is seen in many places in Northern India, Ceylon, Indo-China, and Indian Archipelago. The one in Siam at Sukhodaya is described in detail in a Pali inscription of A. D. 1427 (*vide* Plate LXVIII, Fournereau, I, p. 242). It was carved after the pattern of the Śrīpāda at Samantakūṭa in Ceylon, and bears the same measurement, but more artistic in look and workmanship. On these footprints are marked two discs (*chakra*) each containing six circles within which are marked 108 signs. Below the footprints are represented 80 monks standing in a procession with folded hands and inclined heads in the pose of worshipping.
