Trailokyavijaya

Trailokyavijaya (Chinese: 降三世明王; pinyin: Xiángsānshì míngwáng, Japanese: Gōzanze Myō-ō; Korean: Hangsamse Myeongwang; Sanskrit: त्रैलोक्यविजय) is a Buddhist wrathful deity and is considered to be a form of the bodhisattva, Vajrapani.

[1] One theory put forward with regards to the origin of Trailokavijaya is that he is the Buddhist approrpriation of the Hindu deity, Tripurantaka who is a form of Shiva.

[1] The worship of Trailokavijaya in China began following the transmission of various texts into the region including the Tattvasaṃgraha Tantra and the Vairocanābhisaṃbodhi Sūtra which were translated into Chinese by the monk, Amoghavajra at some point in the latter part of the eighth century.

His primary face expresses a love fury, the right, anger, disgust in the left, and behind, that of heroism.

[2][3] The magic mantra of the King of knowledge having conquered the three worlds is: Namaḥ samanta vajrāṇām.
