In the middle of the picture is Subhuti, who is sitting on the bank of the raging flood to practice Dharma. There are many poisonous dragons in the water. At this time, seven plump roc birds appear in the air and dive down to subdue the poisonous dragons. Sakyamuni is painted on the upper right as a practitioner to preach Dharma, and the four heavenly kings are painted on the lower left corner
The whole Thangka painting is rich in content, vivid and colorful. There is a gold Tibetan inscription on the bottom, the main idea of which is: “Wish you good luck! Before the master can drive the benevolent Buddha, he will become a monk and practice the Arhat Way, learn the four heavenly kings to act as gods and change, and surrender to the dragon beards and bodhi.” The scroll is tied with a yellow paper sign, and the inscription in Chinese is: “On the first day of August in the 35th year of Qianlong, the Panchen Erdeni was accepted to worship the benefit of the Panchen Erdeni. The Panchen Erdeni source and flow 12 axes”. Ten paintings are saved today.
