Pilu Temple Vairocana Hall: Marici
毗盧寺摩利支天像
中國
位於毗盧殿北壁西鋪下層，此像左側榜題稱「摩利支天菩薩」。
摩利支又作摩里支天、末利支天，意譯威光天、陽陷天，或稱末利支提婆。原為印度之神，後被佛教所吸收，為天部之一。
據《佛說摩利支天菩薩陀羅尼經》載：「日前有天，名摩利支。有大神通自在之法，常行日前，日不見彼，彼能見日，無人能見，無人能知，無人能捉，無人能害，無人欺誑，無人能縛，無人能債其財物，無人能罰，不畏怨家能得其便。」
此像作菩薩裝束，頭戴寶冠，額頭現白毫相，面相豐腴。披帔帛，飾瓔珞和腕釧，下著長裙。八臂，其中二臂於胸前合十，另外六臂向兩側展開，手中各執蓮花、寶印及箭等不同法器。
