Ellora Cave 12: Seated Buddhas (back wall, right side)

愛羅拉石窟第12窟佛坐像

印度馬哈拉施特拉邦奧蘭加巴德

位於愛羅拉石窟(Ellora Caves)第12窟第三層大廳正壁兩側。兩邊皆各有七尊佛像並列,大小相同,形象相似,均結跏趺坐於仰覆蓮座上。
 右側為過去七佛,即毗婆尸佛、尸棄佛、毗舍浮佛、拘留孫佛、拘那含牟尼佛、迦葉佛及釋迦牟尼佛。七尊皆結禪定印,每尊像袈裟前襟的環扣略有不同;左右上方有飛天,其上菩提樹冠葉片形狀亦不盡相同。據《長阿含經》卷一〈大本經〉記載,過去七佛分別於波羅利、分陀利、娑羅、尸利沙、優曇跋、尼拘律及畢鉢羅七種樹下成道,故以不同形態的樹冠表現。
 左側七尊皆結轉法輪印,每尊上方皆有左右二飛天共托舉一傘蓋。此十四尊佛像造型樸素,莊嚴肅穆,姿態沉穩。七尊一組,並排而坐,占滿正壁兩側壁面,氣勢磅礡,展現懾人的力量。
