Illustrated Manuscript of the Vasudhara Dharani Sutra

Gold, silver, and color on indigo paper

持世陀羅尼經插圖

尼泊爾

尼泊爾梵文《持世陀羅尼經》手抄本,共二十一頁,每頁高9公分,長26公分,以金、銀及其他顏色繪製在瓷青紙上,為在家信眾拉克希末那旃陀羅(Laksmanacandra)於一一八四年出資抄錄。據漢譯《聖持世陀羅尼經》所述:「若復有人。而用綵帛書寫持世陀羅尼經。復用香薰讀誦頂戴。增福無量。息除災難。」又因持世菩薩的信仰於尼泊爾廣為盛行,為信奉者帶來現世利益與財富,故抄寫此經者眾。
 此二頁插圖各以佛陀與持世菩薩為主尊。上圖佛陀帶頭光及身光,頂髻高圓飾物,神情和煦,著紅色通肩袈裟,手結轉法輪印,結跏趺坐於蓮座。其身側為二脇侍菩薩,皆側身凝視主尊。主尊蓮座下為一台座,飾二雪獅。
 下圖持世菩薩,六臂,戴寶冠,飾瓔珞;袒上身,下繫裙;舒右足,弓左腿,坐於蓮座上。兩側為觀音與金剛持菩薩二脇侍坐像。龕形空間外立二藥叉,手持袋,雨珍寶。主尊蓮座下飾相對而立的紅鬃獅子。
 全圖設色以紅、黃為主,呈現細緻雅麗的繪畫風格,現藏英國倫敦大英圖書館。
