Tāranāth sums up his sketch of art history by the observation that wherever Buddhism prevailed skilful imagers of the gods were found, but as Islam advanced they disappeared, and when Hinduism got the upper hand they were replaced by unskilful performers. In conclusion he notes that in Burma and the South the making of images continued, although no specimens from those countries had reached Tibet; and that in the South three artists named Jaya, Parojaya, and Vijaya had a large following.
