Nyentok Monastery: Yamantaka

年都乎寺大威德金剛像

中國

位於年都乎寺(gnyan thog dgon pa)參贊樂昂殿。大威德金剛又稱閻曼德迦,因威德極大,能制伏毒龍,斷除諸障,特別是降伏死魔閻王,因此稱大威德金剛;又由於形象為牛首人身,又稱牛頭明王。
 此壁畫為十八世紀作品。大威德金剛為雙身形,九面三十四臂十六足,矗立於火焰之中。九面分三層排列,第一層居中牛面,有一對水牛角,藍色,象徵閻王;右邊三面為中青、右紅、左黃;左邊三面為中白、右灰、左黑。第二層為紅面吃人羅剎;最高一層為文殊像,象徵慈悲和平。金剛戴五骷髏冠,獠牙外露,逆髮上揚。藍色身相,五十人首為項飾,披黑蛇帛帶。三十四隻手臂各執法器。十六足,意為鎮壓閻王十六面鐵城,亦代表十六種空性。右腳下為代表八成就俯臥的生靈,生靈之下踩著大梵天、帝釋天、遍入天、大自在天等天神,象徵此法是超越外道的出世法;左腳下為代表八自在清淨的飛禽,其下踩著六面童子天、象頭魔、月亮神、太陽神等天神。
 畫面右下為護法神吉祥天女,左下為大黑天,頂部為佛傳故事。
