| In Mikkyo (Esoteric Buddhism) there are some examples in which he has one face and two upper arms (一面二臂) with a crown on the head, armor on the body and a tokkosho, a pestle with a single sharp blade at each end--this being considered an attribute of Buddhist guardian figures as well as a symbolic item of Esoteric Buddhism--in his hand. |
密教においては、一面二臂で、冠を戴き、身体には甲冑を着け、手には独鈷杵を執る例が見られる。 |
