This example depicts a figure of royalty holding a large disc representing the entire adhaidvipa, with certain features such as the double Mount Merus and their associated mountain ranges on the second and third continents clearly indicated by bright yellow discs. It is a variation of a lokapurusha, in that it emphasizes man's relationship to the middle world over his general place correlation to the cosmos.
