A
Buddha image
in the
pahng peut lohk
pose,
a standing pose, with the arms
pendent alongside his body, the forearms lifted slightly outwards and the palms
turned forward. This gesture represents the
Buddha
disclosing
Trailohk,
showing
the three worlds of heaven,
earth and
hell,
simultaneously, an event that took
place after the Buddha had returned from the
Tavatimsa
heaven, where he had
spent three months observing
pansa
during the rainy season
(fig.).
