Title: Japan: The vidyaraja< / i> or 'Wisdom King' Kujaku Myoo (Mahamayuri). Painting on silk, hanging scroll, Heian Period (12th Century), Tokyo National Museum

Caption: Mahamayuri (Chinese: Kongque Mingwang, Japanese: Kujaku Myoo), is one of the Wisdom Kings in the Buddhist Pantheon. Mahamayuri is a peaceful personification, in contrast to the wrathful attitudes of male personifications of the Wisdom Kings. Mahamayuri had the power to protect devotees from poisoning, either physical or spiritual.

. In Vajrayana Buddhism, a Wisdom King (Sanskrit Vidyaraja, Chinese: Mingwang; Japanese pronunciation: Myoo) is the third type of deity after Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
