The epic mythology about Garuḍa’s taking off Supratīka and Vibhāvasu, already noted, may have some connection with these Gandhāra reliefs; it is significant that the myth occurs in the Ādiparva, and it may be an interpolation. - [Previous: c19.s3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.banerjea-1941.c19.s3.3) - [Next: c19.s3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.banerjea-1941.c19.s3.5) - [Up: c19.s3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.banerjea-1941.c19.s3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.banerjea-1941.c19.s3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.banerjea-1941.c19.s3.4) · Pramāṇa
