Vessantara Jataka, Chapter 8 (The Royal Children), 1920-1940. Creator: Unknown
Vessantara Jataka, Chapter 8 (The Royal Children), 1920-1940. Jujaka visits Vessantara in his cottage in the forest and asks for the children. Vessantara is pleased to be able to help the brahmin with his request and immediately gives away his two children, Jali and Kanha. Again, we see the exchange depicted with the pouring of water onto Jujaka's hands. As the children leave with him, Jujaka ties their hands together and beats them with a stick

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts a scene from the eighth chapter of the Vessantara Jataka, a renowned collection of Buddhist stories originating from ancient India and widely popular in Southeast Asia. The chapter, titled 'The Royal Children,' unfolds the tale of Vessantara, a prince renowned for his generosity, who, in this instance, selflessly gives away his two beloved children, Jali and Kanha, to the hunchbacked brahmin Jujaka. The painting, believed to have been created between 1920 and 1940, portrays the heartfelt exchange between the two men. Vessantara, seated on the steps of his forest cottage, pours water onto Jujaka's hands as a sign of respect and agreement. The children, Jali and Kanha, are shown kneeling with their hands tied together, as Jujaka prepares to take them away. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the textile fabric used in the painting add to its richness and authenticity. The scene is set outdoors, with lush greenery in the background, emphasizing the connection between nature and the spiritual teachings of the Jataka tales. The Vessantara Jataka is a significant part of the Theravada Buddhist tradition and has been passed down through generations in Southeast Asia. The story illustrates the importance of generosity, selflessness, and the interconnectedness of all beings. This painting is a testament to the enduring influence of Buddhist art and literature on the cultural heritage of the region.
