Ajanta Cave 2: Pancika and Hariti

Stone

阿旃陀石窟第2窟半支迦及訶利帝母像

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窟大廳正壁左側神龕。半支迦為藥叉神將之一,亦被視為印度的財神。其妻訶利帝母又稱鬼子母神,生有五百子,因喜竊食他人子,佛陀遂藏其最愛之幼兒以作訓誡。鬼子母感受失子悲痛,後聞佛開示而皈依佛,並發願作安產與幼兒之保護神,在佛教徒中廣受信仰。
 兩尊像體態豐腴,臉帶安詳的微笑。戴寶冠,披瓔珞,舒右腿而坐。半支迦左肩斜掛象徵婆羅門種姓的聖帶,右手置右膝上,掌中持錢囊;左肩上方龕壁雕半支迦向佛請法。訶利帝母右手持吉祥果,左手抱一小兒於膝上;右肩上方壁龕雕訶利帝母聽受佛法。兩神外側立有持拂塵的侍女;兩神之間雕一藥叉,其左手上棲一禽鳥。台座立面浮雕多身嬉戲的兒童,應為兩神之子。
