| 摘要 | This paper deals with a group of paintings from Nepal which have gone hitherto unnoticed. The paintings are popularly called Nagapāśa and are used as game-boards; I shall try to interpret the iconography of Nagapaśa together with its origin. The game dealing with karma is not unique to the Nagapāśa paintings alone. Similar games are known to have existed in India and Tibet as well. What is interesting, however, is the fact that in each country the game is called by a different name and played somewhat differently. Although the purpose of the game may be the same, each game is unmistakably distinct, having regional characteristics of its own. Very little study on the game of karma has been carried out. Two major books that deal with the subject from India and Tibet have recently been published,2 but they do not take into account the Nagapāśa paintings from Nepal which I propose to discuss here in some detail. It is my contention that the Nepali Nagapāśa, though they are unique in themselves, stem - like the Indian and Tibetan games - from the same ancestor, the origin of which appears to be Buddhist. |
