雙神變像

阿富汗帕爾旺省貝格拉姆派特瓦佛寺遺址出土

阿富汗帕爾旺省貝格拉姆(Bagram, Parwan)派特瓦(Paitava)佛寺遺址出土,貝格拉姆即為迦畢試(Kapisa)古城。雙神變,據《大寶積經》卷八十六記載,佛陀向商主天子開示以神變調伏驕慢眾生,佛陀「身上出火,身下出水」、「入地如水,履水如地」,以懾服舍衛國頑固的外道。佛陀教導弟子不宜任意示現神通,然而為了折服外道,神通也不失為權宜的方便法門。
 此尊佛像雙肩各有四道火焰,下襬和足下湧出水流,表現佛陀示現神通。佛面容含笑,右手施無畏印,掌心刻有精緻的千輻輪相,左手握佛衣。頭光邊緣為鋸齒紋,上左為帝釋天,右為梵天,各執傘蓋。肩部兩側各有一尊焰肩佛坐像,其下聯珠紋方框內有兩位女神,各持代表豐收的角狀器。佛足兩旁亦刻有合掌禮拜的胡跪供養人。下部底座刻團花紋。
 佛像肩上發出火焰的造型,乃起源於古迦畢試國,後人稱之為迦畢試風格。此尊構圖左右對稱,留有金箔的痕跡,髮型、衣紋皆整齊勻稱,為迦畢試造像的代表作。
