Ajanta Cave 2: Life of the Buddha - Birth of Prince Siddhartha

阿旃陀石窟第2窟佛傳圖之誕生

印度馬哈拉施特拉邦奧蘭加巴德

位於阿旃陀石窟(Ajanta Caves)第2窟大廳右壁。此佛傳圖將佛陀的一生畫於一個畫面之中,人物眾多,結構複雜。此為佛陀誕生的部分,畫面右側摩耶夫人一手抬起,攀扶娑羅樹枝,樹枝為金色,並畫成金鏈子狀。摩耶夫人頭戴寶冠,髮髻綰起,身佩項圈,兩條長瓔珞相交於胸前,手戴臂釧、腕釧,腰部纖細。其左側二女侍立,其中一身面向摩耶夫人,神情關注。
 畫面左側為大梵天和帝釋天懷抱新生的悉達多太子。大梵天頭戴高冠,三目,耳飾繁縟的耳環。一手抱太子,一手持拂塵,昂首注視摩耶夫人。帝釋天面龐渾圓莊嚴,俯首與太子對視。幼小的太子雙手置於身側,表情沉穩。大梵天身側的一侍者仰首望天。整體畫面構圖錯雜,以金黃色為主調,單純中富有變化,予人富麗之感。
