I have documented ten images of 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补 艢腻苍迟颈苍腻迟丑补 of this type from the present study area and they are belong to the zone I and zone III (six from Purulia, three from Bankura and one from Burdwan i.e., Katwa and Kalna sub-divisions).

A well preserved specimen of 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补 艢腻苍迟颈苍腻迟丑补 image is kept in a modern temple of Pakbirra. The 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补 in 办腻测辞迟蝉补谤驳补 and 蝉补尘补辫腻诲补蝉迟丑腻苍补办补 stands on a lotus placed on sapta-ratha pedestal, the central projection of which bears the 濒腻帽肠丑补苍补, an antilope. Two lions crouching in opposite direction occupies the facets adjacent to the middle, while the remaining projections of the pedestal are left blank. The Jina has elongated ear-lobes, pronounced protruding eye-balls, and his hair is arranged in schematic curls with prominent 耻峁ａ箛墨峁�a. On either side stand squat and stout male 肠补耻谤墨-bearers with fattened legs and flat feet-palm. They ware deeply incised loin cloth and elaborate jewellery including wristlets, armlets, necklace, kamara-bandhanand ratna-尘耻办耻峁璦. Beside the feet of the 肠补耻谤墨-bearers, on either side, are carved two tiny figures of 耻辫腻蝉补办补蝉, one female and the other male both in 苍补尘补蝉办腻谤补, the former seated cross-legged while the latter in 辫补诲尘腻蝉补苍补. On the edge of the back-slab are eight planets arranged in a vertical row of four on either side of the Jina. These on the dexter side appear to be 厂奴谤测补, Ma峁単al, 叠峁沨补蝉辫补迟颈 and 艢补苍颈; while those on the sinister side are Soma, Budha, 艢耻办谤补 and 搁腻丑耻. The back of the throne consists of jeweled posts supporting a cross-bar on which are triangular foliated plaques. The 蝉颈谤补艣肠补办谤补 has intricate patterns of beads and flame tougued border devices, and flowering twigs on either side. 痴颈诲测腻诲丑补谤补蝉 holding long garlands can be seen beside the trilinear chatra on the top of the back-slab, and also a drum and a pair of cymbals struck by disembodied hands.

A small image of 艢腻苍迟颈苍腻迟丑补 is worshipped inside the private temple of the Raja of Manbazar locally known as Garh Patharmahara Thakurbari. The image measures 71 x 36 x 12 cm. The Jain in 办腻测辞迟蝉补谤驳补 posture stands on a doublepetalled lotus placed on a 辫补帽肠补-ratha pedestal. The Jina has elongated ear-lobes, pronounced protruding eye-balls and his hair is arranged in schematic curls with a prominent 耻峁ａ箛墨峁�a (cranial protuberance) . On the edge of the back slab are eight planets arranged in a vertical row of four on either side of the Jina. Those on the right side of the Jina appear to be 厂奴谤测补, Ma峁単al, 叠峁沨补蝉辫补迟颈 and 艢补苍颈; while those on the left side are Soma, Budha, 艢耻办谤补 and 搁腻丑耻. The back-slab also reveals two male 肠补耻谤墨-bearers flanking the Jina. These profusely bejewelled 肠补耻谤墨-bearers stand in 腻产丑补峁単补 posture and their left hands are in 办补峁瓂腻惫补濒补尘产颈迟补 posture while the right hands hold a fly-whisk. The central projection of the pedestal depicts a deer, the 濒腻帽肠丑补苍补 of the Jina. Two crouching lions in opposite directions are depicted on the rathas adjoining the central one while the corners of the pedestal show devotees.

Similar type of a partially damaged 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补 艢腻苍迟颈苍腻迟丑补 (93 x 48 x 13 cm.) image I have been documented from the site Palma (Pl.XXVIII.A). In this image the Jain standing in 办腻测辞迟蝉补谤驳补 posture stands on a double-petalled lotus placed on a 辫补帽肠补-ratha pedestal and the center of ratha of the pedestal bear a deer i.e., the 濒腻帽肠丑补苍补 of 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补 艢腻苍迟颈苍腻迟丑补, placed between two devotees kneeling in 苍补尘补蝉办腻谤补 尘耻诲谤腻. Remaining rathas are decorated with crouching lions and 谤补迟苍补辫腻迟谤补蝉 heaped with offerings. The Jina is sky-clad, has elongated ear-lobes, and his hair is arranged in schematic curls with a prominent 耻艣峁噄峁卆. The 艣颈谤补艣肠补办谤补 is gracefully rimmed with rows of beads, and has flowering twiga on either side. The small but proportionate chatra is slightly damaged at the front. 痴颈诲测腻诲丑补谤补蝉 holding garlands can be seen on the top of the parikara, and also a drum and a pair of cymbals struck by disembodied hands. On either side stands male 肠补耻谤墨-bearers is graceful pose, wearing short lower garments and elegant ornaments comprising of wristlets, armlets, 别办腻惫补濒墨, 办耻峁囜笉补濒补蝉, and a tall ratna尘耻办耻峁璦. On the edge of the back-slab are eight planets arranged in a vertical row of four on either side of the Jina. Those on the dexter side appear to be 厂奴谤测补, Ma峁単al, 叠峁沨补蝉辫补迟颈 and 艢补苍颈; while those on the left side are Soma, Budha, 艢耻办谤补 and 搁腻丑耻. The images of 艢耻办谤补 and 搁腻丑耻 are damaged. All these planetary deities are seated in asusual posture on double-petalled lotus and holding their respective attributes. The back of the throne consists of jeweled posts supporting a cross-bar on which are triangular foliated plaques.

A beautiful image of 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补 艢腻苍迟颈苍腻迟丑补 (80 x 40 x 15 cm) is presently display in the Haripada Sahitya Mandir at Purulia town was recovered from the village of Anai Jambad (Pl.XXVIII.B). The Jina is in 办腻测辞迟蝉补谤驳补 and 蝉补尘补辫腻诲补蝉迟丑腻苍补办补 postures and stands on a full blown lotus placed on a sapta-ratha pedestal.The arms of the Jina hang down vertically along the slender torso and the finger tips touch the thigh on either side. The spata-ratha pedestal of the image is very simple and the central ratha adorned with the respective 濒腻帽肠丑补苍补 of the 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补 i.e., deer, which is flankend by two crouching lions, facing opposite directions. The remaining rathas of the pedestal are completely blank. A very simple almost oval 艣颈谤补艣肠补办谤补 adorns the head of the savior. Above the 艣颈谤补艣肠补办谤补 and just below the top border of the back slab is a centrally placed tri-linear chatra flanked a drum and a pair of cymbals struck by disembodied hands. Two vidy膩dharas or garland-bearers are depicted on both corner sides at the top of the back-slab.The 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补 is flanked by two male 肠补耻谤墨-bearers standing in 腻产丑峁単补 posture and their left hands are in 办补峁瓂腻惫补濒补尘产颈迟补 posture and the right hands hold the fly-whisk. Both of them wear highly bejeweled and have a small halo behind their heads. Eight planetary deities are depicted at the back-slab of the image similarly with the earlier two images of 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补 艢腻苍迟颈苍腻迟丑补, not only their positions but also their postures as well as their attributes also.

Two damaged specimens of similar type of 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补 艢腻苍迟颈苍腻迟丑补 image were documented from Purulia district [one from Palma (37 x 38 x 10 cm) and another from Baramoshya (56 x 42 x 14 cm)] and both the cases the upper portion of the Jina is missing. The remaining portions of the both the Jina images are depicts the presence of planetary deities. It is interesting to note here that both the cases nine planetary deities are presence, however, the position of ninth planetary deity i.e. Ketu is different. In cases of Palma image Ketu is presence in the dexter side, just below the image of 艢补苍颈, while in the Baramoshya image Ketu is presence in the sinistert side along with the figure of 搁腻丑耻.

An image of 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补 艢腻苍迟颈苍腻迟丑补 is plaqued on the western wall of the abandoned Shamchand Mandir of Dharapat, Bankura district (Pl.XXVIII.C). Surprisingly, the coiffure of the Jain has an almost clean shaven appearance along with an 耻峁ａ箛墨峁�a. This treatment of the coiffure makes the image unique and similar treatment is seen in the 笔腻谤艣惫补苍腻迟丑补 image from Bahulara. This Jina with a rounded puffy face and uplifted chest has a boyish appearance unlike other Jina images in the study area. The accentuated curvilinear lips impart a sense of liveliness to the expression of the Jina. The 办别惫补濒补惫峁沰峁�a is finely carved and spreads on both sides of the well defined halo of the deity. The 肠补耻谤墨-bearers, eight planetary deities and the vidy膩dharas are present. The attendant male 肠补耻谤墨-bearers in 腻产丑补峁単补 posture wear conical head-gears. The eight planetary deities (one is abraded and is beyond recognition, however, its position suggests that it is 艢补苍颈 however, interstingly a miniature 艢颈惫补 濒颈峁単补 is enraved there) are carved in details and the clockwise disposition is Soma, Budha, 艢耻办谤补, 搁腻丑耻, then 叠峁沨补蝉辫补迟颈, Ma峁単al and 厂奴谤测补. The planetary deities are seated on double-petalled lotus-pedestals (except 搁腻丑耻) and conform to well prescribe iconographic modes since the ninth-tenth centuries CE.

The terracotta temple of the local Zamindar of Simlapal, Bankura contains some terracotta plaques along with few stone sculptures associated with Jain ideology. Among these stone sculptural specimens I recoded one image of 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补 艢腻苍迟颈苍腻迟丑补. The Jina is in the usual posture on a double-petalled lotus placed on a tri-ratha pedestal. The 濒腻帽肠丑补苍补 of the 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补 is depicting at the center of the pedestal. The icon measures 75 cm x 36 cm x 15 cm. The 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补 is flanked by two male 肠补耻谤墨-bearers standing in 腻产丑补峁単补 posture on their respective pedestals and their left hands are in 办补峁瓂腻惫补濒补尘产颈迟补 posture and the right hands hold the fly-whisk. The figure of the Jina is carved out on a rectangular back-slab with projected side frames. On the edge of the projected part of the back-slab are nine planetary deities are presence (箩测辞迟颈峁�k补-deva). They arranged in a vertical row of four on right side and five on the left side of the Jina. Those on the dexter side appear to be 厂奴谤测补, 惭补峁単补濒补, 叠峁沨补蝉辫补迟颈 and 艢补苍颈; while those on the sinister side are Soma, Buddha, 艢耻办谤补, 搁腻丑耻 and Ketu. The position of the 搁腻丑耻 and Ketu are very much similar with the Baramoshya specimen. The eight planetary deities are seated in 辫补诲尘腻蝉补苍补 posture and holding their respective attributes in both the hands.

A damaged (head of the 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补 is missing) image of 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补 艢腻苍迟颈苍腻迟丑补 is presently in the collection of the Sub Divisional Office of Khatra, Bankura (Pl.XXVIII.D). The specimen is measures 84 x 52 x 10 cm. and the 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补 stands in 办腻测辞迟蝉补谤驳补 pose on a double-petalled lotus with the figures of 腻产丑补峁単补 camara bearer on its either side. It is impossible to delineate the facial expression of the deity and to give details about the back-slab of the image as its upper portion is totally missing. The cognizance deer is carved on centre of the triratha pedestal of the image. On the edge of the back-slab are four planetary deities arranged in a vertical row of two on either side of the principal deity. Assumedly, the specimen originally accommodated the figurines of all the eight planetary deities. As the upper portion of the specimen is broken, at present it does not carry any signs of the figural depictions of the remaining four jyotiska-devas. The figures of 叠峁沨补蝉辫补迟颈 and 艢补苍颈 are depicted on the right side of the 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补; while the images of 艢耻办谤补 and 搁腻丑耻 are on other side of the central figure. In this image 叠峁沨补蝉辫补迟颈 and 艢耻办谤补 both hold water pots and 艢补苍颈 is carved with his peculiar seating posture. He is holding a distinctive staff. 搁腻丑耻 is shown frontally with his voluminous head and peculiar hair dress. His hands are in tarpana-mudra.

Another image of 罢墨谤迟丑补峁卥补谤补 艢腻苍迟颈苍腻迟丑补 of this type was discovered from the village known as Ujani district Burdwan (Pl.XXVIII.E) and is presently displayed in the Bangiya Sahitya Parishad Museum Calcutta. In this image the 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补 stands in 办腻测补迟辞蝉补谤驳补 posture on a double petalled lotus placed on the 辫补帽肠补-ratha pedestal. The Tirthnakara is flanked by two male 肠补耻谤墨-bearers standing in 腻产丑补峁単补 postures on the full lotus placed on the same pedestal. Both the 肠补耻谤墨-bearers wear highly decorative ornament along with a 尘耻办耻峁璦 and their dresses are of very fine quality. The figure of the 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补 is bulky in nature though his facial expression shows a smile coupled with a yogic appearance. The 尘奴濒补-苍腻测补办补 has extended ear-lobes and his hair is arranged in small curls with a protuberance. The back portion of the head of the Jina is embellished with an ovoidal 艣颈谤补艣肠补办谤补 and above it a trilinear chatra is depicted. On both sides of the head of the Jain a flying v墨dyadhara is carved on cloud forms and above it on both side musicians are playing drums from heaven. On both sides of the stele we find the representation of nine planetary deities (four in the right side of Jain and five in the left side of Jaina) in seated posture. The eight planetary deities are the clockwise disposition is Candra, Budha, 艢耻办谤补, 搁腻丑耻, 艢补苍颈 (abraded), 叠峁沨补蝉辫补迟颈, 惭补峁単补濒补 and 厂奴谤测补 (Mevissen 1999: 439).
