DESCRIPTION

Life of the Buddha (Clay Sanskrit Library, 10)

The Buddhist monk Ashva&#183ghoha composed Life of the Buddha in the first or second century CE

probably in Ay&#243dhy. This is the earliest surviving text of the Sanskrit literary genre called kavya and

probably provided models for Kali&#183das's more famous works. The most poignant scenes on the

path to his Awakening are when the young prince Siddh&#225rth, the future Buddha, is confronted by

the reality of sickness, old age, and death, while seduced by the charms of the women employed to keep

him at home. A poet of the highest order, Ashva&#183ghoha's aim is not entertainment but instruction,

presenting the Buddha's teaching as the culmination of the Brahmanical tradition. His wonderful

descriptions of the bodies of courtesans are ultimately meant to show the transience of beauty.Copublished
