Paitava: Life of the Buddha - Miracle at Sravasti

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。該像表現佛陀在舍衛城為度化外道,身上身下發出水、火的神變故事。
 主尊佛左手握衣角,右手施無畏印(現已殘損),身著通肩袈裟,下襬以下殘損;上方為執持傘蓋及散花的帝釋天與梵天。佛兩側共刻四尊坐佛,其中左上坐佛為釋迦苦行像,而右下之坐像已殘失。
 此迦畢試造像特別之處為兩肩各有四道火焰,足下因缺損而未見水流,應與一世紀後期印度貴霜王朝(約1~3世紀)拜火的民間信仰有關。另迦膩色迦王金幣上,正面的國王像飾有火焰,推論火焰亦具有表徵王權的意義。
