English: Sculpture from the Ananda Temple at Pagan, the women sing and play to the prince.
From Charles Duroiselle:[1] The women play and sing to the prince. — Having heard the news of the birth of his son, Siddhartha proceeded in great pomp to the palace and, entering his apartments, lay down on his couch. A bevy of fair damsels, skilled in music, dance and sing before him. The Bodhisattva is reclining on his bed in the slhaseyya attitude (see p. 35). The numerous musicians and dancers are represented by four young women; four being in the Ananda scenes the usual number by which a crowd or a throng is represented. One plays the harp, another the flute; the third an instrument very common in Burma, used for accompaniment. It consists of a bamboo cleft longitudinally from one extre- mity, to within a few inches of the other; one of the halves being drawn back with the right hand and released sharply into the other. The fourth is singing some love song; for her left hand is feelingly placed on her heart. But the prince whose mind was bent upon retirement from the world and whose heart had become free from all earthly desires cared nought for song or music, and fell asleep. |
