In the centre of the panel is 艢iva Candra艣ekhara尘奴谤迟颈 appearing in the Li峁単a. On either side of the Li峁単a are standing both Vi峁ａ箛u and Brahm膩 in 补帽箩补濒颈, folded hands, probably making the eulogy of 艢iva. But prior to that when both the gods were fighting for their supremacy over the universe there appears a luminous column. Then the two gods Brahm膩 and Vi峁ａ箛u transform themselves into zoomorphic creatures, the former as a 丑补尘峁, mythical bird, the latter as a Black Boar. They go in search of either ends of the column and fail to find the ends. On realizing their error they begin to praise 艢iva.
