It is stated in the *Rāyapasēṇiya* that a variety of rhizomes decorated the ideal railing of Suryābhadeva, viz. *padmalatā*, *nāga-*, *aśoka-*, *champaka-*, *chūta-*, *vāsantī-*, *kunda-*, *atimukta-*, and *śyāmālatā*. Of these several may be seen in beautiful meanders on the uprights and copings, e. g. lotus creeper. [Fig. 133].
