The finest image (Fig. 103) of Khasarpaṇa was discovered by the late N. K. Bhattasali in the Pargana Vikrampur in Eastern Bengal ¹. The sculpture is recognized to be one of the best products of Bengal art. Had the central figure been mutilated like the one reproduced in Fig. 104 it would still be possible to identify Khasarpaṇa by means of the four companions to the right and the left of the principal god. Images of Khasarpaṇa are found in Tibet ² and China ³.
