Summary
[edit]DescriptionShiva Slaying Andhaka sculpture in Cave 1 of Elephanta Caves.jpg |
English: This is an uncommon sculpture about the Andhakasura-vadha legend.It shows Bhairava, or Virabhadra, a ferocious form of Shiva killing the demon Andhaka (literally, "blind, darkness"). The relief is much ruined below the waist, is 3.5 m (11 ft) high and posed in action. Though a relief, it is carved to give it a three dimensional form, as if the ferocious Shiva is coming out of the rocks and impaling Andhaka with his trident.
Bhairava's headgear has a ruff on the back, a skull, and a cobra over the forehead, and the crescent high on the right. His facial expression is of anger, the conviction of something he must do, and one in the middle of the action. The legs and five of the eight arms are broken, attributed to Portuguese vandalism. The smaller broken image Andhaka is seen below Bhairava's image. Also depicted in his right hand is the symbolic weapon that Shaiva mythology states Shiva used to kill the destructive elephant demon.A hand holds a bowl to collect the blood dripping from the slain Andhaka, which Shaiva legend states was necessary because the dripping blood had the power to become new demons if they got nourished by the ground. Furthermore, the artwork shows ruined parts of a male and two female forms, figures of two ascetics, a small figure in front, a female figure, and two dwarfs.The uppermost part shows flying apsaras bringing garlands.
मराठी: अंधकासुर-वध आख्यायिकेबद्दल हे एक असामान्य शिल्प आहे. यात भैरव किंवा वीरभद्र, शिवाचे एक भयंकर रूप दाखवले आहे, जो अंधक या राक्षसाचा (शब्दशःअर्थ:"आंधळा, अंधार") वध करतो. हे शिल्प शिवाच्या कंबरेच्या खाली बरेच उद्ध्वस्त झाले आहे, हे 3.5 मीटर (11 फूट) उंच उभे शिल्प आहे. जणूकाही भयंकर शिव खडकांमधून बाहेर पडत आहे आणि आपल्या त्रिशूळाने अंधकाला मारत आहे हे स्पष्टपणे जाणून येते .
भैरवाच्या शिरपेचात मागच्या बाजूला एक कवटी आहे , कवटी आणि कपाळावर नाग आणि उजवीकडे चंद्रकोर आहे. त्याच्या चेहऱ्यावरील हावभाव रागाचे आहेत, त्याने काहीतरी केले पाहिजे याची खात्री आणि कृतीच्या मध्यभागी एक आहे. पाय आणि आठपैकी पाच हात तुटलेले आहेत, यामागे पोर्तुगीज तोडफोडीचे कारण आहे. भैरवाच्या प्रतिमेच्या खाली अंधकाची छोटी तुटलेली प्रतिमा दिसते. त्याच्या उजव्या हातात प्रतीकात्मक शस्त्र देखील चित्रित केले आहे जे शैव पौराणिक कथा सांगते की शिवाने विनाशकारी हत्ती राक्षसाचा वध करण्यासाठी वापरला होता. वध केलेल्या अंधकासुरातून टपकणारे रक्त गोळा करण्यासाठी एका हातामध्ये एक वाडगा होता, जो शैव पौराणिक कथा सांगते कारण टपकणारे रक्त आवश्यक होते. जर ते जमिनीतून पोषित झाले तर नवीन राक्षसं बनण्याचे वरदान अंधकासुरास प्राप्त झाले होते. शिवाय, कलाकृतीमध्ये पुरुष आणि दोन स्त्री रूपांचे उध्वस्त भाग, दोन संन्याशांच्या आकृत्या, समोर एक लहान आकृती, एक स्त्री आकृती आणि दोन बौने दाखवले आहेत. वरच्या भागामध्ये हार आणणाऱ्या उडत्या अप्सरा दाखवल्या आहेत. ![]()
