Brahma: one of the three highest gods in Hindu mythology. The creator of the world. Buddhism absorbed him as the protector of dharma and called him "the Great Brahma King".
Brahma, the creator god, is a prayer god in Vedic mythology, but it is officially named Brahma in Hindu mythology, and it is directly related to Brahma, the supreme will of the universe. It is generally believed that everything in the universe comes from Brahma and returns to Brahma when it is destroyed. Brahma is the personification of the supreme will of the universe, and is regarded as the creator of the universe in Hindu mythology, also known as the "master of the world". But in fact, Brahma's worship is far less than that of the other two great gods. Since the world has been created by Brahma, people's attention has naturally shifted to the struggle for world power between Vishnu and Shiva, that is, the two forces of maintaining and destroying. In addition, Brahma's reputation has decreased and the number of believers has decreased because of some actions, which is directly related to the story line of The World India. There are temples of Vishnu and Shiva all over India, but there is only one temple dedicated to Brahma, that is Brahma Temple in Puska. The mythical Brahma is red-skinned, four-headed, four-armed, and mounted on a swan. After being absorbed into Buddhism and becoming a protector, it is called Brahma. The spouses of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are also called the combination of three goddesses accordingly. Brahma's wife, Saraswati, is a goddess who combines beauty and wisdom in poetry and art. It is said that she was created by Brahma, and later fell in love and combined with Brahma, which committed incest. For this reason, Brahma paid the price for losing a head (there are many legends about why Brahma lost a head and became four, but it is generally believed that this head was destroyed by Shiva). I have read The World, India and Past Books. However, it seems that the marriage between Brahma and Salaswati is not so happy. Salaswati always lacks respect for Brahma, so that Brahma once planned to remarry in a rage-but it is precisely because of this that Salaswati is highly respected in Jainism, another religion in India.
lakshmi, Vishnu's wife, is known as the lucky goddess in Buddhism. She is the sister of the four most famous kings in north-central China, but she is generally considered as the goddess of luck, wealth and love who appeared on the lotus when the gods stirred the milk sea. Vishnu and lakshmi have a good relationship. Almost every time Vishnu incarnates to save the world, she will accompany them. When she is worshipped alone, she is regarded as the "mother of the world" with the highest female potential.
Shiva's wife is generally regarded as the great goddess devi, but like Shiva, this goddess has many doppelgangers and is considered to be the most powerful and complicated of all goddesses. Devi, Perbati, Kali, Black Mother, Durga, Difficult Mother ... are all her titles. When she appeared in the form of terrible Mother Earth, her horror even surpassed Shiva. She was often sent to destroy some powerful demons, and the name Durga was obtained after she destroyed the demons of the same name. In Indian mythology, the gods often lend her their magic weapons and weapons, and with the help of these gods, the goddess is even more powerful-but in The World of India, Baili still lets her appear mainly as Perbati (in fact, because of the influence of 3X3eyes). "Perbati" means "from the snow-capped mountains". She is the goddess of snow-capped mountains. The patron saint of the world refers to the eight gods headed by Indra, the king of the gods. Most of them are the original Vedic gods. Their status in Hindu mythology has been somewhat reduced. Compared with Vedic mythology, their strength has also weakened. They are often forced to ask Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva for help because they can't resist the attack of powerful demons (there is really enough food).
Indra: the god of thunder and lightning, the head of the gods, and later became the king of heaven. After being absorbed by Buddhism, it was also called "Indra Heaven", in order to be a good city master. He appeared in many cartoons and novels, such as The Battle of the Sky, The Legend of God, The Wind and the Cloud, etc., but it seems that he usually plays the role of villain. After being absorbed into Buddhism, he was named Indra, the Lord of Sudarsana. Although he appeared as a Hindu thor/god of war in The World of India, he still used Indra. It is also said that Indra is not a god, but a title, which is held by the person with the greatest merit. If other people's merits exceed the current Indra, then his throne will be hot. The other seven gods are Yama, the god of death, Varuna, the god of wind, Sumo, Suriye, the god of fire, and Dubiro, the god of wealth. It is worth mentioning that Yama, a god of death, became King Moro of Yan after being absorbed by Buddhism, and with the introduction of Buddhism into China, the Ten Temples of Yan were derived (Yan Luowang is actually one of the Ten Temples of Yan, but he is the most famous). The son of Fengshen Fayou is Ha Numan, a flying general and a monkey, who is famous for fighting bravely with Rama (the seventh incarnation of Vishnu). Mr. Hu Shi thinks he is the prototype of the Monkey King in The Journey to the West. The god of wealth, Gabriello, is an interesting guy. It is said that he was a thief before he became a god. Because he stole from Shiva's temple and encountered an adventure, he somehow became a god. In fact, he is the most famous king in the north of Buddhism, but the images of the two are far from each other-it is said that Gabriello is short and rickety, and he looks vulgar and petty, while the most famous king in the north is not only one of the four mighty kings, but also a great beauty and good luck. Wen Tianwang, also known as Shi Caitian, is the God of Wealth who is wildly popular in China during the Chinese New Year.
Indra, the Indra, is the only one among the eight world patrons in World India, and because the four great kings of Buddhism will also appear, Gabriela and the multi-heard king (Kunsamanta) are regarded as two different gods. The Four Heavenly Kings are figures in Buddhist mythology. They are the patron saints of Buddhism. They live in the Four Heavenly Kings in the realm of desire, which is the place closest to the human world. In The World of India, they appear with the gods in Hindu mythology-again, novels are novels after all. Information about the four heavenly kings is easy to find, and everyone knows a lot about them, so I won't elaborate here.
The King of the East, the King of Growth in the South, the King of Wide Eyes in the West and the King of Plenty of Hearing in the North, among which the King of Plenty of Hearing is the most famous and has the largest number of followers. It is also known as the King of Samoan (Vishnu), and all the four kings appeared in the classic cartoon of Clamp (unfortunately, in the end, only the King of Growth in the South, the God of p>Indra, the sky, the storm and the rain
). Three-legged, seven-handed and three-headed

Yama death, riding a buffalo, that is, eight people, which is said in Buddhist scriptures. Hokkekyo. Devadatta once mentioned: "The Dragon and the Eight Branches, both human and non-human, saw the dragon and the girl become Buddha from a distance."
Heaven is the god headed by Indra. The life of the gods will also end, because Buddhists believe that everything is impermanent. Before the gods die, there will be five signs of "dirty clothes, withered flowers on their heads, smelly bodies, sweating under their armpits, and unhappiness", which is the so-called "Five Declines of Heaven and Man".
Asura: Asura is a race against heaven. They are very belligerent, the men are extremely ugly and the women are extremely beautiful. Asura has beautiful women but no food. There are delicious food but no beautiful women. The two sides often fight with each other because of this, and the scene is very tragic. The saying of "Xiuluochang" came from this. Asura clan is regarded as the god of war, and he has another incarnation as the fire god Mani, which is the supreme god of Zoroastrianism and Zoroastrianism in Middle-earth.
Dragon: Dragon is a very popular role in both eastern and western myths and fantasy culture. With its unique appearance and powerful strength, it is favored. It can be said that when it comes to fantasy, people will think of dragons, and dragons have almost become the representative of fantasy literature. Although the dragons in the east and the west are different, they also have many similarities, such as head characteristics, good flying, spitting out material attacks from their mouths and so on. These amazing coincidences make people wonder whether such creatures existed before. The records of dragons have a long history in China, and a large number of detailed, accurate and vivid records run through the whole ancient official history. The recorded records were finally found in the early years of the Republic of China, which is very confusing. But the dragon in Tianlong Babu is actually talking about a boa constrictor.
gandapo: a half-human, half-bird spirit with golden wings. Musicians in heaven.
Garuda: a kind of big bird that people in China are familiar with. After it was introduced to China, it became a golden-winged Dapeng bird. The prototype is a divine bird with all kinds of solemn and precious wings, which devours a dragon king and 5 little dragons in one day (where are so many dragons for it to eat? ), set himself on fire once in 5 years, and then rose from the flame, from which came the legend of the rebirth of the phoenix.
Kinnara, a god of songs, is a subordinate of Emperor Shi. He is like a human being and has a leading role. According to Ramayana, being the head of a human body, or the head of a horse body, is also called being the first bird body.
Hag: brave and agile, such as the King Kong Hag guarding the gate of the Buddhist Temple and the eight generals of the Hag under the King of Pishamen. Hag is a transliteration of Sanskrit. In ancient Indian mythology, hag is a demigod, and there are different opinions about its origin. According to Vishnu Puranas, Hag and Luo Cha were born from the sole of Brahma's foot at the same time, and they were usually hostile to each other. Hag, unlike Luo Cha, is friendly to human beings, so it is called "sincere person". Its image is sometimes described as a beautiful and strong young man, and sometimes as a dwarf with a drooping abdomen.
Mohuluoja: Mohuluoja, translated as big belly line, great wisdom line, great wisdom belly line, python, python and python god. Mahoraga, this is the Python God, and it is also a cloud of earthworm, who walks without a full belly, that is, the temple god of the world, and is known as the python's belly with wine and meat. Destroy evil flattery, be more angry and less generous, be greedy for wine and meat, stop falling into ghosts and gods, and be more angry with insects and eat them. Mahoraga is regarded as a snake god who has no feet and walks on the abdomen. KJV In Volume I of Hua Yan Jing, there are countless names of the king of Mahoraga, such as good wisdom, pure prestige, winning wisdom and solemn bun, wonderful eyes, such as the light building belongs to all, the brightest building, teachers and children's imagination, wonderful Zhuang Yan sound, sumeru solid, lovely and bright. In addition, Volume 11 of Hui Lin's Sound and Meaning says (Dazheng 54 "374c):' Moshule (abbreviated) is a god of music or something like that, or a non-human, or a cloud python god, with a human body and a snake head.' In addition, there are three Mahoraga statues in the northern part of the mandala in the Tibetan area. A statue in the center of it, with both hands bent, makes a fist to relax the head and fingers as the chest, and sits upright on the left knee; The one on the left, wearing a snake crown, sits to the right; The one on the right, playing flute with both hands, facing left.
