介绍（中）	这幅精美的微型画描绘了一位坐着的王室捐赠者，展示了克什米尔艺术家在植物纤维纸上所取得的前所未有的品质。与传统的棕榈叶对开本不同，这种介质允许更大比例的格式，并且尺寸合适，可以对执行进行新的改进。它描绘了一位王室崇拜者盘腿坐在lalitasana，这是王室放松姿势的一种变体，他举起双手表示崇敬，虔诚地凝视着画框之外占据着曾经完整的对开本的神圣文本。像这样的绘画与《般若波罗蜜塔》的手稿版本紧密相连，这是一部体现同名女神的金刚乘文本。这部著名的魔法文本主要由咒语和符咒组成（dharani），作为一种美德，被广泛复制，最常见的是在其100000节的版本中。它的背诵被理解为给所有人带来保护和物质利益。
介绍（英）	This exquisitely executed miniature painting of a seated royal donor exemplifies the unprecedented quality achieved by Kashmiri artists working on plant fiber papers. This medium, as opposed to the traditional palm-leaf folio, allowed a larger scale format and, properly sized, a new refinement of execution. It depicts a royal worshipper seated cross-legged in lalitasana, a variation of the royal ease posture, and with his hands raised in veneration, gazing reverently beyond the picture frame to the sacred text that occupied the once complete folio. Paintings such as this are firmly associated with manuscript editions of the Prajnaparamita, a Vajrayana text embodying the goddess of the same name. This famous magical text, composed largely of spells and charms (dharani), was widely reproduced, most often in its 100,000 verse edition, as an act of merit. Its recitation was understood to bring protection and material benefit to all.
