Ajanta Cave 26: Life of the Buddha - Defeat of Mara
Stone
阿旃陀石窟第26窟佛傳圖之降魔成道
印度馬哈拉施特拉邦奧蘭加巴德
位於阿旃陀石窟（Ajanta Caves）第26窟大廳右壁。據佛傳記載，佛陀於菩提樹下悟道前夕，魔王波旬率領魔軍及魔女前往擾亂。此浮雕為佛陀降伏眾魔的情景。
圖中央佛陀結跏趺坐，右手下垂，掌心向外，作與願印，異於同類題材常見之降魔印。頭光及金剛座皆素淨無裝飾，頭光上刻菩提枝葉。
佛兩側雕魔王及魔軍群像。魔王騎象，作王者打扮。金剛座下正中刻雙手捧物之大地女神立像，旁為正在舞動的魔女。圖左下角和右下角亦雕有魔王，前者手持弓箭，作攻擊狀；後者坐於地上，神色沮喪，呈現戰敗相。
