仁王經疏 3.26

3.26

釋曰：第三、明其能護。若依《本記》，百部神者，出金眼仙人義。此仙人領鬼神，根本有十處，開十為百。十者，一大神，能化諸神。二童子神，是摩醯首羅兒，夜入仙寶。仙法不殺小兒，仙人記其年十六，成大仙必死。言既不空，此不可免。摩醯首羅遂駐此兒恒年十四，以小兒為部黨，故害世間小兒；若年十五，此兒不復害也。三母神，即童子乳母。四梵神，摩醯首羅，面上三目，有一切智。若失物不得，主呪小兒面更生一目，直往取物，得竟還失目。五家頭神，障一切願，善惡事不成就。六龍神，多貪嗔。七脩羅神，能縛杵人天等；又有二健兒，惡健兒、善健兒。八沙神，食肉薄福德，身如沙土。九夜叉神，有大神通。十羅剎神，翻為極難（勘）。

Exposition: Third, explaining those capable of protecting. According to the Benji (Root Record), the spirits of the one hundred divisions originate from the doctrine of the Golden-Eyed Sage (Kanāda / Suvarṇākṣa). This sage commanded ghosts and spirits, which fundamentally had ten classes; unfolding these ten makes one hundred. The ten are: 1. Great spirit, who can transform all spirits. 2. Youth spirit, who is the son of Maheśvara; at night he entered the sage's gem. The rule of the sage was not to kill young boys; the sage prophesied that when he reached the age of sixteen and became a great sage, he would surely die. Since the words were not empty, this could not be avoided. Maheśvara thereupon arrested this boy permanently at the age of fourteen and took young boys as his retinue, which is why he harms the young boys of the world; if he were fifteen years old, this boy would harm them no more. 3. Mother spirit, who is the wet-nurse of the youth. 4. Brahmā spirit, who is Maheśvara; on his face are three eyes, possessing omniscience. If a lost object cannot be found, the master recites an incantation, another eye grows on the youth's face, he goes straight to retrieve the object, and once found, he loses the eye again. 5. Household-head spirit, who obstructs all vows so that good and bad undertakings do not succeed. 6. Nāga spirit, who has great greed and wrath. 7. Asura spirit, who can bind and strike humans, gods, and so forth; moreover, he has two champions, a bad champion and a good champion. 8. Sand spirit, who eats flesh, has meager merit, and whose body is like sand and earth. 9. Yakṣa spirit, who possesses great supernatural powers. 10. Rākṣasa spirit, translated as 'extremely difficult' (to be investigated).
