Ajanta Cave 17: King Srutasoma Jataka
阿旃陀石窟第17窟須陀素彌王本生圖
印度馬哈拉施特拉邦奧蘭加巴德
位於阿旃陀石窟（Ajanta Caves）第17窟大廳正壁右側及右壁。須陀素彌為佛陀於過去世修菩薩行時之名。故事描述古時一國王與母獅所生之子，長大繼承王位後因誤食人肉而引發獸性，後每餐需以人肉為食，終遭人民驅逐，躲入山林。一日捕獲須陀素彌王並欲食之，卻受須陀素彌王感化恢復人性，此後不再食人。
全圖從母獅口銜幼子入宮開始，描繪此子成長及受教育、繼承王位、烹食人肉、被人民驅逐、匿居森林等場面。圖中為母獅將子送返王宮的情景，國王坐於右側御座，雙手捧男嬰，眼望座前母獅，四周有扈從隨侍。此圖色彩亮麗，唯細節已模糊不清。
