| Description / विवरण | In the Jataka narrates the manner in which a monkey succeeded in foiling the attempts of a crocodile to devour him, when the latter pretended to carry him on his back across the river. The portrayal in terracotta reinforces the fact that the Jatakas were essentially popular tales and fables later assimilated into Buddhism. |
