Inscribed Viragal slab with three sculptured panels
illustrate voluntary immolation of a Hero by fire
representing the hero seated with folded hands amidst the
flames. Musician on the left side and a person in an adoring
attitude accompany the act of self immolation. In the middle
panels the hero is being lifted to heaven by four apsaras
(celestial damsels), two of them have chamaras in their
hands. The upper most panel depicts the hero on his way to
heaven on horseback in place of his usual seat in heaven. The
top portion of the slab replicates a two tiered south Indian
temple sikhara (superstructure).
