The iconography and inscriptions help to identify the subject of this painting as Abheda, the 16th and final arhat in the group of Sixteen Great Arhats, the first disciples of the Gautama Buddha. This painting would have likely been part of a set with Shakyamuni Buddha and the fifteen other arhats, each as the subject of a single composition. The inscriptions translate as "Homage to Abheda."
