fun fact: 
The name of the pilgrim Sudhana means "Good Wealth," and he wears fine clothes and a crown.

digital description: 
The subject of the painting on this page accords with the text in another section of the manuscript. It describes the encounter of the pilgrim Sudhana with a Hindu Brahmin sage (<em>rishi</em>) in the forest, who had reached an enlightened state. Many of Sudhana's teachers were not Buddhist monks, but were "true friends" from many walks of life.
