  • They contain numerous birth stories of the Buddha’s previous lives, or Jataka tales. Many of them are in the shape of large, round medallions. Hence, statement 2 is incorrect.
  • Queen Maya’s dream, preceding the birth of the Buddha, is also a major theme on the railing of the Bharhut “stupa”.
