A Chakravartin ~ ಚಕ್ರವರ್ಥಿ
The Jaggayyapeta bas-relief shows a ‘Chakravartin,’ or ‘Wheel-turning Monarch’, surrounded by various symbols: at his feet, a saddled horse and elephant, both symbolising the Buddha; over his head an umbrella symbolising royalty; on his left his counselor and treasurer; on his right a ‘yakshi’ fertility figure; and in the background a ‘Dharmachaka’ wheel on the piller and Buddhist ratna or jewel symbol on the second pillar. The Chakravartin has raised his hand to cause gold to fall from the clouds
