v1.c9.164.5

He is dressed in a close fitting *dhaḍā* or *jaṅghi* which simply covers his nudity, extending only to about the middle of the thighs, but leaving his protuberant paunch exposed, and a scraf or *pīṭha-vastra* tied before the neck and hanging behind the body. His feet are bare. The third figure is a female dressed exactly as the first, but she has elaborately-worked bangles, which cover nearly half the length of her fore-arms. Her left hand holds a lotus-bud, and the right hangs down straight by her side. Near her feet there are two covered vessels, one on each side. The youth who stands next to her on the extreme left, does not appear to be in any way interested in her. He has no shoes, and on his person is a flowered muslin *cāpkān* which hangs down to the knee. A little above his ankle there are marks showing that his nether garment is a pair of close-fitting drawers or *pāyajāmā*. All the four figures show traces of chaplets which had crowned their heads. The leaves of these crowns are angular-lobed, and may be taken for vine or ivy.
