Indeed no other ateliers are known to have produced at the same time so many images pertaining to all the three principal religious system of India: Brahmanism, Buddhism and Jainism. The unquestionable supremacy of the Mathura sculptor, at least till the beginning of the Gupta period, is further documented by the discovery of his handiwork from far-flung points of the Indian subcontinent" in Paul, Pran Gopal; Paul, Debjani (1989). “Brahmanical Imagery in the Kuṣāṇa Art of Mathurā: Tradition and Innovations”. 《East and West》 39 (1/4): 111–143.
