Dhritarashtra
Overview
Dhritarashtra,中文名持國天王,在 CG Canon 中是一位獨立的佛教護法與天界神將。他是四位天王成員之一;「四天王」僅作為組織性的群體概念,不另構成一個 Deity Profile。本 Profile 著重其護衛、武職與披甲的視覺性格,呈現他在佛教護法體系與 Celestial Generals 宇宙中的威嚴位置。此受限資料草稿只使用系統內已批准的 Entity roles 與 group membership,不新增尚未審核的圖像細節、敘事主張或人物關係,後續擴充仍須依 Owner 批准的 CG Canon 資料進行。
Dhritarashtra, known in Chinese as Chiguo Tianwang, is presented in the CG Canon as an individual Buddhist guardian and heavenly general. He is one of the four canonical Heavenly King member identities, while the conventional group name remains an organizational concept rather than an additional Deity Profile. His Profile centers on protective, martial, and armored visual character: a commanding figure within the Buddhist guardian system and the wider Celestial Generals universe. This restrained draft relies on the approved Entity roles and group membership already stored in the system. It does not add unreviewed iconographic details, narrative claims, or relationships, leaving future expansion to Owner-approved CG Canon material.
