Avasyakacurni, pp. 397 ff; Avasyaka-Tika, pp. 296 ff. As shown above, Hiuen-Tsang also records the same belief when he says that the image at Kausambi served as a model for all later images of Buddha. His account shows that he actually saw a sandalwood image preserved at Kausambi. The Age of Imperial Unity (Bombay, 1951), p. 519. Dr. A. Foucher, "The Old Indian Route from Bactria to Taxila; Artistic Influences," (translated into English by Dr. Moti Candra, Journal of the United Provinces Historical Society, Vol. XXII, parts 1-2 (1949), p. 28. Also see, Dr. Radha Kumud Mukerji, “Notes on Early Indian Art," JUPHS., Vol XII, Part I (1939), pp. 75-76. In his 'Origin of the Buddha Image," Dr. Coomaraswamy has shown that “practically every element essential to the iconography of Buddha and Bodhisattva figures appears in early Indian Art before the Buddha figure of Gandhara or Mathura is known." We are reminded here of the statuary of departed royalties referred to by Bhasa in his Pratima-nataka. Op. cit., p. 28. Dr. R.K. Mukerji, op. cit., pp. 71-73.
