On the left side, we notice Hārītī kneeling before the Buddha. She has a child in front of her, who is also adoring the Great Being. The two scenes represent the conversion of Hārītī by the Buddha. The child is Hārītī's youngest son, Priyaṅkara, who was given back to her after she had foresworn cannibalism.
