Loriyan Tangai: Life of the Buddha - Great Departure

踰城出家圖

巴基斯坦西北邊境省羅里延唐蓋佛寺遺址出土

巴基斯坦開伯爾巴圖克瓦省羅里延唐蓋(Loriyan Tangai, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa)佛寺遺址出土。據《普曜經》記載,悉達多太子夜半自迦毗羅衛城乘馬騰空,踰城出家,城門上空群集無數天人齊聲讚歎。該圖即描述當晚太子出城的場景,是犍陀羅廣為流行的佛傳故事題材之一。
 圖中悉達多太子帶頭光,騎乘自己的駿馬犍陟,左手控韁,右手舉起來招呼眾天人,神情篤實堅毅。「出城」意味著走出煩惱,邁向悟道的方向。圖中下面的二人,一前一後托舉馬蹄,代表四神捧馬足,奔馳於虛空中。馬伕車匿立於後方,高舉傘蓋護衛著太子,其背後多棱的立柱表示城門。車匿上方,有雙手持金剛杵的執金剛神。馬前二人,戴敷巾冠飾、裝束華麗、左手持金剛杵的人物是帝釋天;卷髮綰成高髻、衣飾簡樸、合掌作禮的人物是梵天。他們和上方的三位天神,一起虔敬地注視著太子。上方中間頭髮呈菱形紋戴城塞冠者,推測係迦毗羅衛城之守護女神。其背後戴敷巾冠飾、手握刀劍者,有可能是引導太子出城的毗沙門天王。該圖人體比例適度,表情豐富,線條流暢,呈現均衡和諧的藝術美感。
