Color on palm leaf

五護經插圖

尼泊爾

尼泊爾文貝葉經,造於瑪拉王朝(Malla,約1200~1768)。《五護經》全名《五護陀羅尼經》,為尼泊爾最盛行的經典之一。此經是由五部陀羅尼經彙編而成,內容為佛陀分別說五種陀羅尼及其功德,可令持誦這些陀羅尼者,遠離地、水、火、風、空五大所帶來的災難。約七、八世紀時,人們把此《五護陀羅尼經》與五方佛相聯繫,以五方佛的五位佛母代表五護陀羅尼,即大隨求、大千摧碎、大孔雀、大寒林及大密咒隨持佛母,總稱為五護佛母。
 此六片貝葉經,每片高5.5公分,長33公分,插圖由上至下分別描繪大隨求、大日如來、大寒林、不空成就佛、大孔雀及寶生佛。大日如來及八臂大隨求身呈白色,結轉法輪印。不空成就佛及六臂大寒林綠膚,右手施無畏印。寶生佛及八臂大孔雀身黃色,結與願印。三尊佛背景皆以藍色為地,紅色舉身光;三尊佛母則以紅色為背景,白色舉身光,除主要手結印外,其餘持劍、斧、弓、箭等物。
 此插圖色彩分明,雖為十三世紀作品,但保存良好,為研究瑪拉王朝早期尼泊爾繪畫風格的例作。
