We have one such figure in Deogarh. Also cf. fig. A(e)2, 329 from Deopara, in the Museum of the Varendra Research Society formerly situated in Rajashahi, East Bengal.
Coomaraswamy, History of Indian and Indonesian Art, fig. 178. The four male deities are the four Maharajas, the quarter-guardians Dhritarashtra, Vidudhaka and others. The Pathari sculpture, because of attendant females (not known to Buddhist or Hindu mythology) must be identified as representing the birth of a Jina (probably the nativity of Mahâvîra).
