Hada - Hada (English spelling)

This is the site of a Buddhist temple located south of Jalalabad in eastern Afghanistan. Most of the construction dates back to the 3rd century, when the Kushan dynasty flourished, but construction seems to have continued until the 8th century. Xuanzang's Records of the Western Regions of the Great Tang Dynasty states that there was a fortress called Kila on the southern border of the country of Nagarahara (Jalalabad), which corresponds to Hadda. Xuanzang wrote that there was a double tower in this fortress, and a stupa (round tower) containing the top bone of a Tathagata. The site was surveyed by the British in the 19th century, but full-scale excavation was carried out by a French team in the 1920s, and the surveys of the Tapakalan temple site, Chahiri Gundi temple site, and Gar Nao temple site by the orientalist Fouché and others are well known. Many temples, stupas and stucco statues have been discovered, and the chronology of the stupas at Hadda has made a major contribution to the study of Gandharan architectural history.

アフガニスタン東部のジャララバード南方に位置する仏教寺院址(し)。クシャン朝の栄えた3世紀を中心とするものが多いが、8世紀代まで建造は続いていたらしい。玄奘(げんじょう)の『大唐西域記(だいとうさいいきき)』に那掲羅曷(ナガラハーラ)国(ジャララバード)の南界に醯羅(けいら)城があったとしているが、これがハッダにあたる。玄奘は、この城の中に二重楼閣があり、如来(にょらい)の頂骨を安置したストゥーパ(円塔)があることなどを記している。19世紀にイギリス人が調査をしているが、本格的な発掘は1920年代に入ってからのフランス隊によるもので、東洋学者フーシェらによるタパカラーン寺址、チャヒリ・グンディ寺址、ガール・ナオ寺址の調査がよく知られている。多くの寺院、ストゥーパ、ストゥッコ像(石膏塑像(せっこうそぞう))が発見されているが、ハッダにおけるストゥーパの編年は、ガンダーラ建築史の研究に大きな貢献をしている。
