Among the sculptures at Sanchi, there are those that might not directly draw from Buddhist concepts. One such example features graceful women swinging from the gateway's edge while clinging to a tree. Initially, scholars found this depiction intriguing, as it appeared unrelated to the theme of renunciation. However, by delving into various literary traditions, they discerned a possible connection to the concept of a shalabhanjika, as described in Sanskrit. |
