It represents Bhāvadeva Sūri and was probably prepared for his use. This Bhāvadeva Sūri is known to have composed the \*Pārśvanātha Charita\* in Vikrama Samvat 1412 (A.D. 1355), and, therefore, the date of this painting should also fall in the third quarter of the 14th century. The painting represents Gautama-Svāmī, the first disciple of Mahāvīra, seated on a full blown lotus, attended by a monk on each side. Outside the circle, on the top left, is represented Kālī riding a horse, and on the top left Bhairava. On the bottom left is Dharaṇendra, and on the bottom right the goddess Padmāvatī. In the centre is a \*navagraha\* panel, and outside the circle stands a monk on either side. The colours employed are red, yellow, black, green and ultramarine blue. - [Previous: c6.402](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.chandra-1949.c6.402) - [Next: c6.404](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.chandra-1949.c6.404) - [Up: c6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.chandra-1949.c6) ## Cites (1) - [Pārśvanāthacarita](https://indike.org/pramana/in.jaina.anuyoga.epic.jina.parsva.parsvanathacarita) — Vādirāja, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.chandra-1949.c6.403](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.chandra-1949.c6.403) · Pramāṇa
