介绍（中）	大都会博物馆收藏的最古老的耆那教图像恰好也是耆那教艺术中已知的最早的主题代表，巴胡巴利的图像，他是一位达到完美存在（siddha）地位的王子。尽管他从未进入二十四位提尔坦卡拉的万神殿，但他仍然获得了类似吉娜的地位。巴胡巴利的传说讲述了一位王子在一场继承战争中差点杀死他的兄弟巴拉塔，然后放弃了对其他生物的骄傲和暴力表达。他拥抱着非暴力（ahimsa），在森林中以"抛弃身体"的姿势冥想，在那里，他被藤蔓缠绕，并在头发上栖息鸟类，直到他达到莫克沙这个小巧的图标是印度次大陆最大的岩石切割图标的一部分，卡纳塔克邦Shravana Belgola的Bahubali，这是一个60英尺高的图像，由10世纪的活岩石雕刻而成。从那一天起，这个图标就在Mahamastakahisheka节日中被仪式性地点亮，周期为12年，最近一次是在2006年。
介绍（英）	The oldest Jain image in the Metropolitan Museum's collection also happens to be the earliest known representation of the subject in Jain art, that of Bahubali, a prince who attained the stature of a perfected being (siddha). Although never admitted to the pantheon of twenty-four tirthankaras, he nonetheless attained jina-like status. The legend of Bahubali tells of a prince who renounces violence after coming close to slaying his brother Bharata in a battle of succession and then renounces pride and its expression—violence to other living creatures. Embracing ahimsa (nonviolence), he meditates in the "body-abandonment" posture in a forest, where he is entwined by vines and hosts birds that nest in his hair until he attains moksha. This diminutive icon is part of a tradition that inspired the largest rock-cut icon in the Indian subcontinent, the Bahubali at Shravana Belgola, in Karnataka, a sixty-foot-high image sculpted from living rock in the tenth century. This icon has been ritually lustrated in the mahamastakabhisheka festival since that date on a twelve-year cycle, most recently celebrated in 2006.
