The Bodhisattva is seated with his right hand in Bhumisparsamudra. The arm of the dejected Mara on left. The Bodhisattva put to flight the army of Mara before the sun had set, and then sank into deeper and profound contemplation. "He acquired in the first watch of the night the knowledge of previous existences, in the middle hour of the night the divine vision and the last part of the night the knowledge of the causative process. Thus he attained omniscience."35mmslideb&wen-AUBuddhism, Background: Bodhisattva's life, Buddha's message, Growth of Buddhism, Buddhist Pantheonarchitecturestone sculpturebook scan2019-12-18This image is provided for research purposes only and must not be reproduced without the prior permission of the Archives Program, Australian National University.
