v7.c47.6535

The lion seat or throne is made for the use of deities and kings (line 1). These thrones are first divided into four classes (lines 4–8)—the Prathama (first) throne is stated to be fit for the first coronation, the Maṅgala throne for the Maṅgala-coronation, the Vīra throne for the Vīra-coronation, and the Vijaya throne for the Vijaya-coronation. It should be noted that these four thrones are used for the four stages of coronation of the same king.—(*M.*, XLIX, 166, etc.)
