The site was developed in two distinct phases. An early phase is datable from ca. 100 B.C.E to 100 C.E. After a period of inactivity, excavations resumed from the latter half of the 5th century under patronage. My study will focus upon this second period exclusively. Ajaṇṭā includes archaeological evidence in the form of architectural programs, sculptures, paintings and epigraphs, which have attracted the close scrutiny of generations of art-historians and scholars of Indian Buddhism. But a study on the relationship between the art and inscriptions has not been attempted. This article deals with the epigraphs surviving at Ajaṇṭā which provide historical information about patronage and the genealogy of the Vākāṭakas, donative practices and explanatory reference to artists and visitors, and discusses the correspondence between those inscriptions and Ajaṇṭā art such as architecture, sculptures and paintings. This article consists of three parts. The first chapter explores the interpretation of some words seen in the dedicatory inscriptions of programmatic caves comparing with usage in the Buddhist texts and the art of Ajaṇṭā itself. The second chapter discusses the date and the purpose of painted inscriptions such as descriptive labels and didactic verses. In the third chapter, we will find that a significant proportion of Ajaṇṭā’s intrusive donors are monastic. This chapter examines several epithets of monastic donors seen in the epigraphs and explores the relationship between those donors and donated images., 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 = {73--85}, title = {アジャンター後期石窟における碑銘について}, volume = {19}, year = {2003} }
