To the left of the rājā is the figure of a Bhikshu or of some religious person, draped in a pale-green robe. The drawing of the head of this figure is masterly, the wrinkles of the face and the soft elderly features making him very life-like. The gesture of his hand suggests that he is pointing out a certain course of action to the rājā to get rid of the dilemma with which he is faced.
