Four Heavenly Kings
The term Heavenly King is used even today in a limited scope within Chinese Buddhism, with a much more religious meaning than most of its uses as a title. An example of its use is within the Four Heavenly Kings. The Four Heavenly Kings are four Buddhist gods, each of whom represents one cardinal direction. They are "Vaiśravaṇa" (), "Virūḍhaka" (), "Dhṛtarāṣṭra" (), and "Virūpākṣa" ().
