介绍（中）	Daiitoku Myō（梵语：Yamantaka）是密教五大光明王之一。他的梵语名字意思是"阻止阎王力量的人"。他有多个头、眼睛、腿和手臂。四只手拿着三叉戟、一个轮子、一把剑和一根镶有宝石的球杆，两只手在克制的泥沼中，只伸出中指。由Kūkai（774–836）从中国引入，五位大光王在《仁王大会经》中成为重要的仪式偶像，在特殊场合举行，以保护国家。这幅画在形式上几乎与一幅Daiitoku Myō的图像相同，该图像出现在Kūkai进口的、位于京都重要的密教寺庙Daigoji的《仁王经》（Ninnō）中的神像肖像画中。图像旁边的简短描述可能是对神的属性的记录。
介绍（英）	Daiitoku Myōō (Sanskrit: Yamantaka) is one of the five Great Light Kings of Esoteric Buddhism. His Sanskrit name means "one who stops the power of the King of Hell." He is shown with multiple heads, eyes, legs, and arms. Four hands hold a trident, a wheel, a sword, and a jeweled club while two hands join, with only the middle finger extended, in the mudra of restraint (konpon-in). Introduced from China by Kūkai (774–836), the five Great Light Kings became important ritual icons called upon to protect the nation during the Sutra of the Benevolent Kings Assembly, which was performed on special occasions. This drawing is almost identical in form to an image of Daiitoku Myōō that appears in an iconographic scroll of deities from the Sutra of the Benevolent Kings (Ninnōkyō) imported by Kūkai and housed at the important esoteric temple Daigoji in Kyoto. The brief description next to the image probably serves as a record of the attributes of the deity.
