Beautiful 18th Century Chinese Blue and White ‘Peony’ Dish
Asian AntiquesBahubali, 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 and is entwined by vines and hosts birds that nest
in his hair until he attains moksha.
