Story:-

When Brahmadatta was ruling Banaras, Bodhisattva was born as the son of a 肠补峁囜笉补濒补. He was named 惭腻迟补峁単补 and was recognized as wise 惭腻迟补峁単补. One day Di峁�峁環a ma峁単alika, the daughter of a merchant of Banaras came to a park for enjoyment and when she started coming out of the city gate she met 惭腻迟补峁単补. When she came to know that he was a 肠补峁囜笉补濒补 her companions beat the innocent 惭腻迟补峁単补 till he became unconscious. When 惭腻迟补峁単补 recovered he was determined to get 顿颈峁�峁�丑补尘补峁単补濒颈办补. So he fell down at the door of her father鈥檚 house. On the seventh day the girl was given to him. Since 惭腻迟补峁単补 was very weak, she carried him on her back and went to the 肠补峁囜笉腻濒补鈥檚 settlement.

惭腻迟补峁単补 wanting to teach the rules of caste, morals and ethics to 顿颈峁�峁�丑补尘补峁単补濒颈办补 embraced the life of religious ascetic. In seven days he developed the eight attainments and the five supernatural faculties. By his supernatural powers he returned to his house and went to meet 顿颈峁�峁�丑补尘补峁単补濒颈办补. He then told her to make her more glorious than her former glory but for this, she had to tell the people that her husband is not 惭腻迟补峁単补, but the Great Brahma. With these words, he went to the 贬颈尘腻濒补测补蝉.

On the appointed day he broke the lunar disc, came to his wife and touched her navel who immediately conceived. The Great Being told her the greatness of the son to be born who shall receive the highest honour and tribute. The devotees who assembled around her worshipped her. They built a pavilion for her where 顿颈峁�峁�丑补尘补峁単补濒颈办补 gave birth to a son named 惭补峁囜笉补惫测补 碍耻尘腻谤补. From the age of sixteen he provided food only for the Br膩hmi峁噑.

惭腻迟补峁単补 in his hermitage in the Himalayas saw that his son was going in the wrong way. He decided to teach him to bestow gifts only to the worthy person. He put on ragged robe, earthen bowl and went through the air to the alms gateway and stood on one side. The moment 惭补峁囜笉补惫测补 saw him he ordered his men to cast him out as he was an outcaste and a goblin. As his people came near him 惭腻迟补峁単补 rose up in the sky beyond the reach of 惭补峁囜笉补惫测补鈥檚 men and proceded to the hall and began to partake food. The city guards became furious and attacked the sage. Then 惭腻迟补峁単补 in anger twisted the neck of 惭补峁囜笉补惫测补 and other Brahmans. On hearing this Di峁�峁環ima峁単alika came crying to her husband. 惭腻迟补峁単补 gave the elixir of immortality and Di峁�峁環ima峁単alika put some in her son鈥檚 mouth and rest to other Brahmans. She told her son to give bounty to the virtuous and not evil ones. She enlightened him on the merit of gifts to the deserving^[1].

Depiction:-

The synoptic narrative episode of the 闯腻迟补办补 is found on a limestone coping from 础尘补谤腻惫补迟墨 which illustrates three main events. It is housed in the Madras Government Museum (Pl 16a). In the first panel, on the right side is a woman, possibly Di峁�峁環ima峁単alika carrying 惭腻迟补峁単补 on her back. The central panel shows the ascetic 惭腻迟补峁単补, who slowly rises up from his seat into the air and returns to his house after obtaining super natural powers in the forest. He is shown in the panel as kneeling and holding her with his two hands. The two standing persons in anjali attitude are observing the incident. The scene not only shows 惭腻迟补峁単补 promising her to make her glorious but also holding her hands with his outstretched hands to suggest the symbolic transformation of supernatural powers in her body to make her conceive. The left side of the panel, though broken shows the mutilated body of someone flying down from heaven to lower regions. It probably suggests that 惭腻迟补峁単补 came down from the moon. The lower broken panel might have portrayed the citizens of Banaras observing the supernatural powers of 惭腻迟补峁単补^[2].
