In the name of myself: donors of images at Bodhgaya

Résumé

Epigraphic material from the celebrated Buddhist site of Bodhgaya has been subjected to generations of researches by epigraphists, art historians and archaeologists of South Asia. However, no work has so far concentrated precisely on the substantial corpus of dedicatory inscriptions from the site, engraved primarily on the sculptures and ‘votive’ compositions, that have been sporadically published over a period well over a century. This note concentrates on select dated image inscriptions from the site, located in different repositories and the site itself, to constitute a framework for future studies on dedicatory inscriptions from the site. The paper concludes with the argument that between the fourth and the eleventh centuries CE Bodhgaya witnessed myriad and layered processes of transformation, as clearly reflected from the donative records as from the other material remains from the site.
