Ajanta Cave 2: Life of the Buddha - Interpretation of Queen Maya’s Dream
阿旃陀石窟第2窟佛傳圖之相師占夢
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。據佛傳記載，摩耶夫人夜夢白象入胎，淨飯王請來婆羅門相師阿私陀解夢。阿私陀預言此子將來若繼承王位，會成為統領天下的聖君，廣布善政；若修行求法，則為普度眾生的聖者。
圖中左側淨飯王和摩耶夫人並坐，三位侍女立於御座兩邊，眾人皆顯出專心傾聽的神情。阿私陀跪於座前，正解說夢境含義。圖右側另一場景為摩耶夫人斜倚柱旁，低頭沉思，阿私陀蹲跪其前，其旁立一侍女，投之以關注的眼神。畫面偏向深色調，以倚柱的摩耶夫人形象最引人注目，其造型婀娜優雅，被譽為阿旃陀石窟最迷人的壁畫之一。
