| A Lion or Lioness wards off evil and is the protector of all things benign. In a Temple these Sculptures are found in all four cardinal directions. The Greek call them `Chimera` and in a slightly different mutation, the Chinese call them as `Pixiu`. At The Temples of Angkor many different forms of these Lions are seen. In truth, in the Indian Mythology, a Lion is `the Rhythmically Uttered` Word or `The Mantra`. |
