¹ A story, likewise Indian and Buddhist, translated from the Chinese by M. CHAVANNES (Fables et Contes de l'Inde, extraits du Tripitaka chinois, in Actes du XIVe Congrès international des Orientalistes, I, p. 94) begins with this double and reciprocal exchange of ideal models : but the continuation of the story does not seem to accord with the scenes of our bas-reliefs. We may also recall, in the legend of Mahâkâçyapa, the detail of the fabrication of a type of girl in gold (BEAL, Romantic Legend, p. 317; SCHIEFNER, Textes traduits du Kandjour in Mélanges Asiat. de St. Péterb., VIII, pp. 296 sqq., or Tibetan tales, p. 191).
