c11.39

Now, the miniature representation of temples of this type occurs also in a number of terracotta votive tablets from Pagan, and a stone sculpture in Prome both representing ancient capitals of Hindu colonial kingdoms in Burma. These tablets in Burma may be said to be almost replicas of the pictures of temples in Eastern India. One of the votive tablets in Pagan is inscribed with the Buddhist formula '*ye dharmā*' etc. in Nāgarī character.
