Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The sculpture depicts a scene where three soothsayers are interpreting to King Suddhodana the dream of Queen Maya, mother of Lord Buddha. Below them is seated a scribe recording the interpretation. This is possibly the earliest available pictorial record of the art of writing in India.
ગુજરાતી: આ ચિત્રમાં ગૌતમ બુદ્ધની માતા માયારાણીને આવેલા સ્વપ્નનું અર્થઘટન રાજા શુદ્ધોદનને કહી સંભળાવતા ત્રણ પંડિતોને આલેખતા શિલ્પની પ્રતિકૃતિ જોવા મળે છે. ચિત્રના નીચેના ભાગમાં પંડિતોના અર્થઘટનને નોંધી લેતો લહિયો નજરે પડે છે. ભારતમાં લેખનકલા અંગેનું આ કદાચ પ્રાચીનતમ ચિત્રાંકન છે. (નાગાર્જુનકોન્ડા, ઈશુની બીજી સદીનું શિલ્પ)
