Near the right hand of Irandatī is a figure, rather blurred, with its head completely destroyed. Below this is another figure which is well preserved, and represents a young man. The pose and the expression of the face show determination and vivacity of temperament; and if the circular yellow patch behind the head does not represent a *Nāga* hood, the figure may be identified with that of Pūrṇaka.
