Sanchi Stupa 1: Life of the Buddha - Return to Kapilavastu

Sandstone

桑奇一號塔佛傳圖之歸鄉說法

印度

位於東門北柱內側面。表現淨飯王歡迎佛陀回鄉說法的佛傳故事,屬薩塔瓦哈納王朝(Satavahana,約200 BCE~250)中期作品。
 此圖分上中下三層,畫面由上而下呈「S」形走向布局。上層為淨飯王率領浩大隊伍出城迎接佛陀,隊伍從右至左緩緩穿越街道;城樓上擠滿倚欄而望議論紛紛的群眾,刻劃生動傳神;右上角還有一頭引頸長盼的駱駝。
 中層從左至右刻劃隊伍徐徐出城,城門上站滿士兵;淨飯王坐在豪華的馬車上,裝扮富麗,兩匹駿馬亦戴精緻冠飾;馬車下方為歡迎的樂隊,樂師正在彈琴、吹橫笛和螺貝等樂器,顯得熱鬧非凡。
 下層右端刻樹木,表示隊伍已進入樹林;左端圍欄內的榕樹代表佛陀安居的尼拘律苑;淨飯王居中,貴族長老圍繞於側,均合掌抬頭仰望,神色恭敬;其上方浮於樹叢中的橫石,代表佛陀在空中展現神通,折服傲慢的釋迦族貴族長老虔心皈佛。
