Ajanta Cave 6: Life of the Buddha - Defeat of Mara
阿旃陀石窟第6窟佛傳圖之降魔成道
印度馬哈拉施特拉邦奧蘭加巴德
位於阿旃陀石窟（Ajanta Caves）第6窟下層過廳。依據佛傳所載，描繪悉達多太子成道在即，魔王波旬惟恐太子證得菩提，召集魔軍、魔女襲擊、誘惑太子，擬斷其勇猛精進之道心。然太子不驚不怖，身如金山，放大光明，魔王軍眾悉皆退散。
畫面毀損近半，僅殘存佛陀、魔王和部分魔軍。佛居中央位置，螺髮濃密，面相莊嚴。著袒右式袈裟，結跏趺坐，右手下垂施降魔印，左手置於腹前。其右前方之魔王身材魁梧，右腳前屈，左腿後伸，動態十足。四周眾魔軍似作攻擊狀。
此圖雖多處漫漶，但色彩依然明亮，人物描繪寫實自然，筆觸纖細。
