A Croc-and-Bull Story

Candi Panataran (plan)

This tantri tale is carved on the back of another guardian statue at the main temple (previous tage). In the part of the story shown here, a bull helps a stranded crocodile get back to the river by carrying the crocodile on his back. The story continues with the ungrateful crocodile, once in the water, refusing to release the bull, who is eventually rescued by a helpful monkey.
