The Heliodorus pillar is a stone column that was erected around 113 BCE in central India〔http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L71FAhl7Yfo&feature=player_embedded〕 in Vidisha near modern Besnagar, by Heliodorus, a Greek ambassador of the Indo-Greek king Antialcidas to the court of the Shunga king Bhagabhadra. The site is located only 5 miles from the Buddhist stupa of Sanchi. The pillar was surmounted by a sculpture of Garuda and was apparently dedicated by Heliodorus to the god Vāsudeva in front of the temple of Vāsudeva. ==Inscriptions== (詳細はBrahmi script the situation of Heliodorus and his relationship to the Shunga Empire and the Indo-Greek Kingdom. karito i() Heliodorena bhaga vatena Diyasa putrena Takhasilakena Yonadatena agatena maharajasa Amtalikitasa upa()ta samkasam-rano Kasiput()asa ()agabhadrasa tratarasa vasena ()dasena rajena vadhamanasa was erected here by the devotee Heliodoros, the son of Dion, a man of Taxila, sent by the Great Yona King Antialkidas, as ambassador to King Kasiputra Bhagabhadra, the Savior son of the princess from Varanasi, in the fourteenth year of his reign. Although not perfectly clear, the inscription seems to be referring to Heliodoros as a Bhagavata, “One devoted to Bhagavan”, meaning "a devotee". The second inscription on the pillar describes in more detail the spiritual content of the faith supported by Heliodorus: nayamti svaga damo chago apramado Three immortal precepts (footsteps)... when practiced lead to heaven: self-restraint, charity, consciousness 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heliodorus pillar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
