Black ink, rectangular, the upper short side is concave, the middle part of the lower short side is concave, and the frame is ribbed. On one side of the ink, there is an image of Arhat, and the name of Arhat Zun in gold script and the name changed by the Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty: “The twelfth Nagasina Zun is now the fourteenth (Na’a) Garsena Zun”; On the other side is the praise of Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty. There are sixteen similar inks (421-436 in Chinese), that is, sixteen Arhat sets of inks. This set of inks collected by the hospital are all complete and stored in wooden boxes. Since there are theories of the Sixteen Arhats and the Eighteen Arhats respectively in history, Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty used this to consult Zhang Jiaguo, and thus determined the names and orders of the Sixteen Arhats. The image order and names of the ink paintings were changed according to Emperor Gaozong’s understanding of the Sixteen Arhats.
