Inscription: thub bstan sgron mes ‘jig rten gyi | mun pa zhi mdzad pad ma las | byung ba’i E ma slob dpon che | sam bha ba yi dge legs stzol | Translation: May the great scholar Sambhava, born from the lotus, bestow the good fortune [just as] the Lamp of Buddha’s teaching Pacifies the darkness of the world. Laura A. Weinstein, 2018
Compare with an earlier painting with the same design. HAR 920. This means that the earlier painting must belong to a set of paintings which was copied, possibly the earlier set was the basis of a design that was then carved into woodblocks. Nick Dharmadi, 5-2026
