It covers two galleries (third and fourth) and also half of the second gallery, comprising in total of 460 panels . The principal figure of the story, the youth Sudhana, son of an extremely rich merchant, appears on the 16th panel . The preceding 15 panels form a prologue to the story of the miracles during Buddha's samadhi in the Garden of Jeta at Sravasti . </P> <P> During his search, Sudhana visited no fewer than thirty teachers, but none of them had satisfied him completely . He was then instructed by Manjusri to meet the monk Megasri, where he was given the first doctrine . As his journey continues, Sudhana meets (in the following order) Supratisthita, the physician Megha (Spirit of Knowledge), the banker Muktaka, the monk Saradhvaja, the upasika Asa (Spirit of Supreme Enlightenment), Bhismottaranirghosa, the Brahmin Jayosmayatna, Princess Maitrayani, the monk Sudarsana, a boy called Indriyesvara, the upasika Prabhuta, the banker Ratnachuda, King Anala, the god Siva Mahadeva, Queen Maya, Bodhisattva Maitreya and then back to Manjusri . Each meeting has given Sudhana a specific doctrine, knowledge and wisdom . These meetings are shown in the third gallery . </P> <P> After the last meeting with Manjusri, Sudhana went to the residence of Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, depicted in the fourth gallery . The entire series of the fourth gallery is devoted to the teaching of Samantabhadra . The narrative panels finally end with Sudhana's achievement of the Supreme Knowledge and the Ultimate Truth . </P> <P> Apart from the story of the Buddhist cosmology carved in stone, Borobudur has many statues of various Buddhas . The cross-legged statues are seated in a lotus position and distributed on the five square platforms (the Rupadhatu level), as well as on the top platform (the Arupadhatu level). </P>
