2.107

[Kumāra]jīva says: The world-protectors are the Four Heavenly Kings. Various evil ghosts and spirits prey upon sentient beings, and the four guardian kings of the world protect them, not allowing them to do harm. Here, saying he is 'honored' means that what is protected by his spiritual power reaches across the ten directions. [Seng]zhao says: The four guardian kings of the world each govern one direction, protecting their own domain so that evil ghosts and spirits cannot harm them.
