Tabo skor lam: east wall, south side, upper section

The row of the Buddhas of the *Bhadrakalpa* on the upper edge of the wall begins with a narrative scene. An kneeling Bodhisattva, with his hands raised in *añjalimudrā*, is depicted in 2/3 profile. He is turned towards a Buddha on a lion throne, of which only the edge of the mandorla and a lion of the throne are preserved. Directly behind the Bodhisattva a group of monks is depicted. Only fragments of the inscription survive, but they seem to be the favorite disciples of the Buddha Śākyamuni. Following the Śākyamuni, running along the entire outer wall of the Ambulatory and then continuing on the inner wall of the west and north corridor, the names faithfully follow the *Bhadrakalpikasūtra*.
