琰魔王（梵語冥司鬼王名也舊云閻羅王經文作剡尸染反魔皆訛略不正也正梵音云琰閻奄反摩古人譯為平等）。

琰魔王 (King Yama): The Sanskrit name of the ghost king who presides over the nether underworld. In older translations he was called King Yanluo (閻羅王); in sūtra texts written 剡 (fanqie 尸染反) 魔, these are all corrupt abbreviations and incorrect. The correct Sanskrit sound is Yamarāja (琰閻奄反摩); the ancients translated it as 'the Impartial One' (平等).
