In actuality the pigeon was the fire­god Agni in disguise and the hunter was the king of the heaven Indra. Both of them wanted to test the compassionate nature of the king. The king agreed to offer his own flesh in exchange of the life of the bird. But his flesh was not sufficient for the purpose and he himself sat on the pan of the balance. Then Indra and Agni appeared in real forms and showered praise on the king.The lower part of the compartment shows a seated royal figure in the middle compartment a king is seen seated on a throne and a man is depicted standing behind carrying a scale for weighing, above there is a Buddhist railing with three arched windows of which the middle one carries a female bust.
