to Uttaradhyayana (***) slide/Ch. 7. We see two cows in MORGENROTH/ HICKMANN 1979: 31 and cow and calf in BROWN 1941: fig. 21. The man who leads the ram is shown in MORGENROTH/HICKMANN loc.cit.; in the other cases we see how the animal is slaughtered.
It is not clear why the extended version was not used for Ch. 7 (side by side with the simple version), but for Ch. 25 where it makes prima facie little sense. Be that as it may, the extended version has in one case the portrayal of a priest, not of a king (supra). It is thus basically an appropriate indication of or pictogram for a sacrifice. The expressions "simple" (b-1) and "extended" (b-2) express a basic identity which seems correct and which justifies our nomenclature. An intermediate version between b-1 and b-2 is of course missing; b-2 was thus directly inspired by b-1 (?). Further material may throw light on the situation. But even now we can say that an analytic survey of the miniature paintings of all thirty-six chapters of Uttaradhyayana would be useful.
My thanks go again to R. Radzinski for revising my English style. I am also indebted to G.J.R. Mevissen for a number of useful suggestions.
