Proof of Theravada Buddhism, Shivaism, and Mahayana Buddhism under the art of Bayon (Jayavarman VII) The archaeological advances of the Bantey chmar temple allow us to see Prince Siddharta Gautama (Theravada Buddha) riding a horse to flee from the kingdom of Kapilavastu to lead a life of asceticism. There is a princess Nagini who deploys her wings, which allows us to understand the fusion between the religious powers of Mahayana Buddhism and Shivaism embodied by a Nagini with Vaishnaism embodied by Garuda The following photo is a constitution of King Jayavarman VII sitting in a meditation position as Lord shiva, and not as the Buddha Avalokiteshvara who is confused with Buddha Gautama of the theravada. King Jayavarman VII is sitting on a Yoni of mother uma (Parvati), the erection of Jayavarman VII as Lingam suggests the cult of Deva raja (association of the Linga with the image of the King) as it was practiced at the time of Rulos and mahendra parvata (Jayavarman II) until Yasodarapura with king yasovarman. This also symbolizes the perfect relationship and religious power of fusion between Mahayana Buddhism and Shivaism. We must not mix theravada Buddhism with Mahayana Buddhism. In the Khmer iconography of Mahayana Buddhism, Buddha Avalokiteshvara is still represented "standing" while in theravada Buddhism, Buddha Gautama (Siddharta) had always been represented sitting in padma (mediative position of the lotus) with the dragon king muccilinda who shelters him from the rain. The representation of Jayavarman VII sitting in meditation, is more like the god shiva sitting in meditation, who received the title via Adi yogi's Vedas which means the first ascete or yogi. The second image depicts Garuda, standing on an 9-headed Nagā, which still testifies to the religious fusion between the Vaishnaism of Visnu with Mahayana Buddhism and Shivaism during the era of Jayavarman VII. Zhou daguan spoke that the king's royal duty was to spend every sacred nights with the true sovereign who descended from heaven, she was a dragon queen with "nine heads", zhou daguan said that the temple of Phimeanakas was the royal suite, and she had a golden tower with an arrow or squeamish as its summit. The shrill is the emblem of Shivaism, however according to the inscriptions and sculptures of Phimeanakas, it was a Nagini with 11 heads, and not 9 as zhou said.
