Syama Jataka

Shravana's tale is about a pious son taking care of his blind parents, who gets killed while fetching water by a hunting king.

But the endings are different, in Shravana's story, the king gets cursed by the blind parents who lost their son and serves as a backstory for the cause of the king's son Rama's exile and his journey, the epic poem Ramayana, whereas in Syama's story there is Indra's intervention, revival of Syama and restoration of his parent' sight.

Sovannasam is generally depicted lying with an arrow sticking out of him while all the wild animals who have accompanied him to the river run away in fright.

This scene is not mentioned in any text of the Sovannasam Jataka that we could find, and it might have been copied from printed images imported into Cambodia from Thailand and India during the 1980s.

In Wat Saravan Decho (Phnom Penh), Belayeak is depicted as an ordinary hunter, wearing short pants, a short-sleeved shirt, and carrying a bow.

The clothing in which the couple is depicted shows a similar variety to that of Sovannasam, and includes tiger skins and varying color “sampot".
