Life of the Buddha - Parinirvana

Schist

涅槃圖

巴基斯坦

此犍陀羅作品之故事內容見於《大般涅槃經》,以一圖多景方式表現佛陀在拘尸那揭羅入滅的情景。佛陀頭朝北方,右脇累足而臥,如獅子眠。雙樹花神以雨眾妙花供養。佛涅槃前,為年百二十的外道須跋陀羅解惑,並使之成為最後的弟子。與眾弟子訣別後,進入禪定而寂滅,但阿難等人不捨,悲號哭泣,悶絕倒地,阿那律則鎮靜地從旁勸誡。佛陀涅槃七日後,弟子依轉輪聖王荼毗法,以新淨綿及細毯纏裹其身,用香油為佛陀火化。而在摩揭陀遊化的大迦葉由一位從拘尸那揭羅來的外道口中,得知佛陀入滅的消息,隨即趕回禮拜佛足。
 圖中牀前悲泣倒地不能自勝者為阿難,阿那律站在牀頭扶持並予以勸慰。須跋陀羅結跏趺坐,背向觀者,拿著漉水囊。牀尾扛著棍棒,與一位比丘正在談話者,即手持曼陀羅花的外道,正告知大迦葉佛陀入滅的消息。佛陀後方持拂者是執金剛神,旁邊戴敷巾冠飾舉起一隻手的,應為拘尸那揭羅的末羅族王子。左右兩邊娑羅雙樹上都有散花的樹神。
 儘管圖中具備涅槃圖的大部分情節要素,但側臥的佛陀全身已用布纏裹,不見面目,應該是涅槃之後系列圖像中的遺體纏布圖。
