Masters of painting and other arts were employed as
teachers and artisans and on festive occasions the king
used to specially honour them before setting them to exe-
cute various commissions, such as producing pan portraits
of princes and princesses for being sent around to vari-
ous kingdoms for arranging suitable marriages. 191 The
extreme humility of the artists is evinced in their pro-
neness to inviting discussion and suggestive corrections
of any possible blemishes in their executions, as in the
case of Gandharvaka who asks Prince Harivahana to express
192 his frank opinion on the portrait of Tilakama帽jar墨. At
the same time he was too meticulously purposeful to incur
the shortcomings resulting from insufficient knowledge,
inattention during work, lack of the sense of propriety
193 and want of proper practice.
A few interesting details as to the method of the
painter in producing a picture are also given by Dhanap膩la
