Nagarjunakonda: Life of the Buddha
Limestone
龍樹丘遺址佛傳圖
印度安得拉邦龍樹丘遺址出土
印度安得拉邦（Andhra Pradesh）龍樹丘遺址（Nagarjunakonda）出土。長方形浮雕石板由下至上分為三段，刻劃佛陀成道前後的故事。下段由二個場面構成，圖右側為牧羊女以金鉢盛乳糜供養悉達多太子的情景；左側畫面局部缺損，應刻劃進食後的太子將金鉢投入尼連禪河中，龍王接鉢回宮供奉的情節。
畫面中段表現降魔成道，太子結跏趺坐於菩提樹下，被乘象的魔王、魔眾以及魔女包圍。魔王乘象是南印度降魔成道圖像上的一個特點。上段表現佛陀成道後天神參拜的場面，樹下的佛陀右手上舉施無畏印，左手作禪定印，周圍環繞合掌禮拜的眾天神。
