Here also the Buddha, Gautama, having finished his incarnations on earth and accomplished his Nirvana, is said to have gone to teach and convert his mother Mâya,¹ who died a week after his birth. This is the scene represented in the panel. Buddha, enthroned in all the glory of his divinity under a splendid canopy, is preaching the law to Mâya, who sits in happy ecstasy listening to the inspired words of her son.
