삼국유사 鵠島 居陁知 설화의 사상적 배경에 대한 試論

Abstract

This study compared the Goryeo era’s Jakjegeon(作帝建) Tale and Tang Dynasty’s Imuk(任頊) Tale like it, in order to understand the ideological background of the Geotaji(居陁知) Tale, and examined the Buddhist scriptures. Geotaji tale form a triangle with dragon, old fox(Sami, 沙彌), archer(Geotaji), Similarly, Imuk(任頊) tale also form a triangle with dragon, alien(ascetic), Scholar(Imuk). The Sami and the alien has emerged as a presence-eating dragon, and Geotaji and Imuk removes the enemy by helping the dragon. Although both of the story is intended to remove the fox or alien, Geotaji Tale’s fox is terminated by being killed, but Imuk Tale’s alien is a story that is not complete because of continuous up and go back ourselves. Five Hundred Arhat’s Destiny story also do not remove the demon daughter(羅刹女) who embraced the pain completely, because it was also recognized as a subject of salvation. It is similar to Imuk Tale. While Geotaji Tale and Jakjegeon Tale have in common. Talking to clearly distinguish between the killing and salvation, life and death is closer a islander or fisherman than person of land. So Geotaji Tale, reflecting the difficult process of life of the island and the sea, can be the story of the ocean. Ideological atmosphere of the Geotaji Tale to obliterate the existence itself is weak Buddhist color. Look associated with Buddhism from archer Geotaji can not be found. Nevertheless, the Buddhist looks at the expression in the Sami(沙彌) story is noteworthy. The old fox has been transformed into a Sami is an expression is a decoration of the bad feelings of the Sami. It is similar to what the monks took to the Dharani magic is subjected to a negative hospitality from a full-fledged Exotericism(顯敎) and Esoteric Buddhism. Such a point, Geotaji Tale‘s fox, unlike the Samgi(三岐) mountain spirit’s fox who helped Wonkwang(圓光), is similar to the fox to be expelled to the Milbon(密 本).
