Vimalakīrti, seen in three-quarters view, with his right hand in a form of dharmacakra mudrā, is engaged in dissertation or argument, for proficiency in which he is noted. His body is gold in color, and he is dressed in a plain inner robe, over which is another with a design of flying storks in outline. He wears a large white turban with a flying streamer. He is seated on a mat on a raised platform with four legs, which is provided with a back and an armrest in the form of a dragon; on this his left arm rests. Above him is a large canopy of roof, supported by red pillars. The terrace on which his chair stands ends in a gold mailing, beyond which is water and a distant shore.
In the foreground is another white lion, his head turned in the direction of the first. Behind Vimalakīrti and in attendance on him is a lady dressed in a white dress with red trimmings, red shoes, and a red headdress, holding a flower. In the foreground to the extreme left are three bearded men, one of whom holds a staff in his right hand and is supported by a boy attendant on his left. The second, a stout gentleman, makes a mudrā, while the third carries a small white lion. The three bearded men very probably represent Central Asian types.

維摩大士 the scholar and gentleman Vimalakīrti

Mañjuśrī is seated on a throne, his hands in añjali mudrā. Above him, unsupported in the air, is a canopy. He is attended by three monks and two Devas, probably Brahmā and Indra. In front of his thrones his lion, white in color, running. Between Mañjuśrī and Vimalakīrti is an offering table, or more likely a seat, which is empty.
Further in the foreground is a monk on a mat, his shoes off and to one side, kowtowing to Vimalakīrti. He may be Śāriputra. Above a Bodhisattva bringing the inexhaustible bowl of rice comes swiftly on a cloud, and behind him is a Deva carrying an unidentifiable object.
