介绍（中）	在佛教世界中，地狱十王是死者的审判者，决定他们的命运，包括惩罚的类型和严重程度以及他们的转生周期。这幅画以战士的标准伪装描绘了第十位地狱之王，最初是一套十卷卷轴的一部分（其中六卷现在收藏在洛杉矶县艺术博物馆）。国王坐在中央的显眼位置，周围是一群侍从和黑社会的重要人物，包括信使、法官和看守。在右上角，小人物漂浮在彩虹般的溪流（六条重生之路的象征）上，从右下角的双头野兽形象（代表恶灵）散发出来。死者因他们的过犯而受到惩罚，占据了这幅画的下半部分。右上角用汉字写的铭文——第十五道轉輪大王黑暗地獄戊午甲（韩语：제십오도전륜대왕흑암지옥무오갑）——可以翻译为"五道正法第十大王，在最黑暗的地狱中，画于周期性年份muo"，这个日期对应于1798年。
介绍（英）	In the Buddhist world, the Ten Kings of Hell serve as judges of the deceased to determine their fate, including the type and severity of punishment and the course of their cycle of rebirth. This painting depicts the Tenth King of Hell in the standard guise of a warrior, and originally formed part of a set of ten scrolls (six of which are now in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art). Seated prominently in the center, the king is surrounded by a retinue of attendants and significant figures of the underworld, including messengers, judges, and wardens. At the top right corner, tiny figures float on a rainbowlike stream (a symbol of the six paths of rebirth) emanating from a double-headed beastly figure (representing the Evil Spirit) at the lower right. The dead, receiving punishments for their transgressions, populate the lower half of the painting. The inscription written in Chinese characters at the top right—第十五道轉輪大王黑暗地獄戊午甲 (Korean: 제십오도전륜대왕흑암지옥무오갑)—may be translated as “The Tenth Great King of the Five Ways and the Right Law, in the darkest hell, painted in the cyclical year muo,” a date that corresponds to 1798.
