On the other hand, Yakṣas have another aspect of awesomeness, awing ancient people.That is to say, Yakṣas have ambivalent aspects: both benevolence and malevolence. Thus by their nature of ambivalence, Yakṣas have been worshipped by ancient people with desiring for various wishes. Many Yakṣas statues had been established as Bhagavat Images (Icon). This paper deal with Yakṣas figures carved in the round from 1st B.C. to 1st A.D., which were discovered at Mathurā, Vidishā, Patnā, and Pawāyā etc. This paper consists of three parts. The first chapter will review some Yakṣas statues so far discussed, stylistically and iconographically. The second chapter deal with two figures recently discovered at Mathurā to bring their iconographic features to light. The third chapter will deal with the inscription of Yakṣa statue, especially Pawāyā image to make clear the aspects of Yakṣa cult in ancient India. With above studies, we will bring essential aspects of Yakṣa Images before Buddhist art into bold relief., 国立情報学研究所で電子化したコンテンツを使用している。}, pages = {55--73}, title = {インド古代初期におけるヤクシャの神像彫刻について}, volume = {19}, year = {2003} }
