Buddha Shakyamuni or the Jina Buddha Vairochana

这尊典雅的克什米尔风格造像表现的可能是传统上定年为公元前563—483年的历史佛陀释迦牟尼，也可能是色究竟天中的出世间胜者佛毗卢遮那。两尊佛陀皆双手结 dharmachakra mudra（转法轮印），并皆以 dhyana asana（禅定坐）结跏趺坐。佛陀有顶髻（ushnisha），象征其遍知一切；眉间有白毫相（urna），表明其证悟；耳垂延长，象征其对物质世界的舍离。他身着袈裟，偏袒一肩。颈后有一小凸榫，表明其曾另配有可拆卸的头光。他坐于狮子宝座上，这一宝座与王者意象相关，意在强调其精神上的威权。宝座前方由一位药叉（yaksha）承托，两侧各有一只昂首上扬的格里芬。宝座后部两角各有一根柱身，从带有外展柱头的瓶中升起。宝座中间后方有一镂空叶形面板作为支撑。

The historical Buddha Shakyamuni, traditionally dated to 563–483 BCE, or the transcendent Jina Buddha Vairochana in Akanishta Heaven, is represented in this elegant Kashmiri image. Both Buddhas hold their hands in the gesture of Turning the Wheel of the Law (dharmachakra mudra) and both sit with their feet being crossed in meditation (dhyana asana). The Buddha has the cranial protuberance (ushnisha) emblematic of his omniscience, the circular forehead marking (urna) indicating his enlightenment, and elongated earlobes symbolizing his renunciation of the material world. He wears a pleated robe over one shoulder. A small lug at the base of his neck indicates that he once had a separately cast nimbus. He sits on a lion throne associated with royal imagery that emphasizes his spiritual sovereignty. A demigod (yaksha) supports the throne in the front. He is flanked by two rearing griffins. The back corners of the throne each have a column rising out of a pot with a flaring capital. A pierced foliate panel supports the middle of the throne in the rear.
