Kalura, commonly known as the Golden Rooster [6], is a giant divine bird recorded in ancient Indian mythology. In Hinduism, it is the mount of Vishnu, one of the three main deities, and in Buddhism, it is listed as one of the Eight Heavenly Dragons. Galluro specializes in feeding on dragons. [1] Later, the image of the roc bird of Kunpeng was integrated into the image of Jialouluo, which was confused with the images of Kunpeng and Dapeng, resulting in the birth of the image of Dapeng Golden Winged Bird.
In traditional Chinese culture, the Kalura is called the Golden Winged Bird, while the Dapeng Golden Winged Bird is a term used to refer to Kunpeng or Kalura after the confusion between the two images.
There are four types of Galauro golden winged birds: metaphyte, hygrophyte, viviparous, and egg laying. The most powerful is the incarnation of Galaurus, followed by the Shisheng Galaurus, the viviparous Galaurus, and finally the egg born Galaurus. There are countless Kalura golden winged birds in the world, led by the four great Kalura kings, Wei De, Da Shen, Da Man, and Ruyi.
Generally speaking, Galaurus appears in the form of a human faced bird body, a bird faced human body, or a full bird body. [1]
Human face bird body shape
Above its navel, it resembles a heavenly king, with only a beak resembling an eagle's beak, green in color, and a face shaped in anger with exposed teeth. Below the navel is the image of an eagle. Wearing a pointed crown, double hair draped over shoulders, wearing a wreath robe, and wearing a bracelet in the hand, the whole body is golden. The two wings behind them are red, spreading outwards, and their tails droop and spread out. The image of Kalura on the national emblem of Thailand is like this.
Bird faced human body shape
In Buddhist temples in the Central Plains of China, Jialouluo often appears as one of the incarnations of Guanyin in the Yuantong Temple where Guanyin is enshrined. He is dressed in a white robe and is in the shape of a human, with only a pointed beak on his face and still in the shape of an eagle.
All bird shaped
In the southwestern region of China, the Kalura often appears in the form of a golden rooster, standing at the top of a tower. In addition, Indonesia also has the national emblem of Kaluro, which is also the image of a whole bird.
Galluro is a manifestation of ancient global giant bird worship in the Indian region, such as Roc in Arabia, Dapeng in China, and the primitive totemic worship of the Bai ethnic group in China, such as the Golden Rooster, and the Thunderbird of the Native Americans.
In the interpretation, it is written: "Kalura" is a large bird with various solemn and precious colors on its wings, and a large lump on its head, which is a pearl of joy. The bird sings mournfully and feeds on Naga Galluro eats one King Naga and five hundred dragons every day. When he was on his deathbed, he was unable to eat. After flying up and down seven times, he flew to Mount Vajra and burned himself, leaving only a pure green glass heart. [2]
In the first chapter of the ancient Indian epic Mahabharata, it is recorded in detail that Galluro wagered with the dragon tribe to release his mother from slavery, in exchange for the freedom of his mother and himself in exchange for the nectar of the heavenly realm. The story of successfully obtaining nectar from Indra in the Heavenly Realm and striving for freedom while also feeding on the dragon tribe for life.
Hinduism
According to Hindu mythology and legend, Kalura is the mount of the great god Vishnu and belongs to the secondary god. It is said that he is depicted as a half human and half bird, with an eagle head, claws, and beak, and his body and limbs are no different from those of humans. Legend has it that Galluro was the brother of Aluna, the ruler of the sun god Sulya. The mother of Galluro was enslaved by another wife of her husband and her sons, Naga. Zhongnaga demanded that Galluro bring them the nectar of immortality as a condition for releasing their mother. In Southeast Asia, Gallo is a symbol of loyalty.
Buddhism
According to Buddhist scriptures such as the Lotus Sutra, Kalura is one of the eight heavenly dragons that protect the Buddha. It has various solemn statues, a golden body, a first born wish bead, and a sorrowful sound. Every day, it devours one Naga and five hundred dragons. As the poison gas accumulates in its body, Kalura is unable to eat at last. After flipping up and down seven times, it flies to Mount Vajra, where the poison gas erupts and its entire body burns, leaving only a pure blue glass heart.
There are countless Galluros in the world, led by the four great Galluro kings of Wei De, Da Shen, Da Man, and Ruyi. At the same time, Kalura is also one of the incarnations of Avalokitesvara.
According to the Book of the Seraphs, "The God of Galluro first cultivates the Great Shed, often with a high heart. He is known for his style in objects, and therefore receives his body
Tibetan Buddhism
In the system of Tantric Buddhism, Kalura (Tibetan: khyung) is the mount of the Northern Karmapa of the Five Buddhas, with a human face and a bird body, symbolizing that the Dharma King guides everything and all are followers.
Legend has it that in the past, Grand Master Wu Jinlian Peanut subdued most of the demons and ghosts after arriving in the Tibetan land. When the palace of Sangye was just completed, the Lotus Master wanted to observe if there were any ghosts and gods that had not been subdued. However, he found that all the ghosts and gods except for Naga had been subdued, and Naga's body had been subdued to help build the scripture hall. His language had also been subdued and he followed the teachings. However, Naga's heart had not been subdued, and he was still waiting for opportunities to create various misfortunes.
Lian Shi stayed for seven days in the Sangyeqingpu area, waiting for her strength to hit their vital points, so that Naga couldn't bear it. She turned into thirteen white people riding white horses and reported to King Chisong Dezan, "King, please ask Lian Shi for mercy and relax us a bit. We can offer the necessary wood." At that time, there was a shortage of wood for the construction of many scripture halls, so King Chisong Dezan immediately rushed to Lian Shi in person, but did not see Lian Shi, But I saw a red Galluro catching two Naga kings, with its mouth in its mouth and claws in its claws. The two Naga kings let out piercing cries.
After the king bowed, he said, "Master, please be merciful and relax. There is a land of knowledge." Lian Shi immediately released Naga and gradually revealed his true identity. He asked, "What land of knowledge is it?" "It is a land of knowledge made of wood." "If Naga's heart is subdued, then he will obtain a greater land of knowledge than wood. Unfortunately, it has not been successful, which will lead to various epidemics in the future." In order to restore the cause and benefit future generations, At the request of the Dharma King Chisong Dezan, Master Lian created many Jialouluo practices, which were then hidden in Vajra Rock, Jixiang Lake, or sturdy treasure chests. He wrote: "By the time and origin, it is sufficient for the incarnation of Master Fuzang to open and benefit all sentient beings.
