觀音義疏 2.68

2.68

天大將軍者，如《金光明》即以散脂為大將，《大經》云：「八健提，天中力士。」《釋論》稱魔醯首羅如前，又稱鳩摩伽，此云童子，騎孔雀、擎雞、持鐸、捉赤旛。韋紐此稱遍聞，四臂，捉貝持輪，騎金翅烏，皆是諸天大將，未知此大將軍定是何等四句相對？

'A great general of the gods': for instance, the Suvarṇaprabhāsa takes Saṃjñāya to be the great general; the Mahāparinirvāṇa Sūtra says: 'Aṣṭa-kandhī, a wrestler among the gods.' The Shilun speaks of Maheśvara as above, and also speaks of Kumāra, translated here as Youth, riding a peacock, holding a rooster, carrying a bell, and holding a red banner; Viṣṇu is here translated as All-Hearing, with four arms, holding a conch and a wheel, riding a garuḍa. These are all great generals of the gods. It is not yet known what kind of four propositions this 'great general' corresponds to.
