Pantaka is the 13th and Abheda the 16th, and Dharmatala is the layman attendant to the Sixteen Great Arhats. This painting is composition seven from a seven-painting set of Shakyamuni Buddha and the Sixteen Great Arhats, and would also include the patron Hvashang and the two remaining Guardians of the Directions, Dritarashtra and Virudhaka (in addition to the two depicted here).
