Vidyarajas
Literally "Bright Kings," Vidyarajas (Chinese: Ming-wang; Japanese: Myoo) are wrathful saviors. Like bodhisattvas, they are enlightened beings committed to the salvation of mankind, but who are angry at humankind's indifference to the Buddha's Law. While they are often dressed similarly to bodhisattvas, they are frightening in appearance with flaming halos, angry expressions, bulging eyes and barred fangs.

C. Kundali (Chinese: Chun-t'u-li; Japanese: Gundari)
D. Yamantaka (Chinese: Ta-wei-te; Japanese: Daiitoku), Conqueror of Death, is believed to be a manifestation of the ultimate wisdom which overcomes evil, suffering and death. In Vajrayana Buddhism, he is frequently depicted as a buffalo-headed demon, but in the museum's sand mandala, he is symbolized by a blue vajra, or thunderbolt.
E. Vajrayaksa (Chinese: Chin-kang-ch'a; Japanese: Kongoyasha)
