Plate XXXIX Cf pp. 235-236

I. - Here Candraprabha, descending again from heaven, in order to keep the promise which she had made to her husband to come back as a ghost, reappears, quite naturally to our eyes, in the costume of a goddess, and consequently of a queen - that is 10 say, the same which she wore on plate XXXVIII, I. Note the cracks in the block on which the king is carved.

II. - Cf. pp. 235-6. The distinction between the king and the crown-prince is in this scene especially emphasized by the fact that the father alone wears the mukuta or tiara, which the son, contrary to custom (see, for instance, prince Sudhana in the low;r scene of pl. XXXV, 2), here does not wear.
