Bharhut: Sakra’s Cave
Red sandstone
巴爾胡特遺址帝釋窟說法圖
印度中央邦阿拉哈巴德瑟德納縣巴爾胡特遺址出土
印度中央邦阿拉哈巴德瑟德納縣（Satna, Allahabad, Madhya Pradesh）巴爾胡特遺址（Bharhut）出土。原為佛塔圍欄柱石浮雕裝飾，表現佛陀於帝釋窟為帝釋天說法，浮雕左右兩側殘損。
畫面中央刻劃一個拱形的洞窟，洞窟內的空台座與傘蓋象徵佛陀的存在。帝釋天背向外，坐於台座前，周圍有八名聆聽佛陀說法的弟子，洞穴外上方的樹與岩石景觀間刻正在嬉戲及窺視洞穴的猴子。圖左方殘存畫面可見豎琴，當為表現洞外乾闥婆樂神奏樂。浮雕上方的銘文註明「帝釋窟」，一般認為該浮雕為現存表現帝釋窟主題的最早作品。
