Indra, Indra's full name is Indra, literally translated as Emperor Nengtian. He was originally an Indian god, in charge of lightning and fighting. Later, it was absorbed by Buddhists as a protector.

According to various scriptures, Indra was originally a Brahman in the kingdom of Mogata. Thanks to the blessing of Shubushi, he was born into a profitable paradise and became a god for thirty-three days. This kind of record was made by India from the Vedas to the Buddhist era, and Indra's god was embodied. According to Buddhist scriptures, when Shi Zun was born, he turned the seven treasures into golden steps and let Shi Zun come down from heaven step by step. When he came down, Indra was on the Buddha's left, holding the treasure cover, and Brahma was waiting for him on the right to lead him. Buddhism came into being after Buddhism became Taoism, and Indra became the patron saint of Buddhism and was called Indra. When the Buddha ascended to heaven for his mother, Indra held the treasure cover and served as the follower of the Buddha.

Indra means "can heaven and earth" in Sanskrit. In ancient Indian mythology, he rode a white elephant and held a vajra, representing Thor. He is so clever that he can think about thousands of things in a flash. When China, the successor of Buddhism, became the protector of Buddhism and ruled all protoss. People in China usually call him the Jade Emperor. In fact, the Jade Emperor in the eyes of ordinary people evolved from Indra. The two are the same thing, and the difference is just appellation.

Indra's position in Buddhism, together with Brahma, is the patron saint of Buddhism, the second king in the "twenty days" of Buddhism and one of the twelve days. The town protects the East. It lives in the sky at the top of Mount Sumi, and its city is called a good city. There are ten emperors guarding them. He led the gods to build a lecture hall for the Buddha and Lohan with ebony trees, and provided beds, bedding and various diets to support the Buddha and his disciples. Indra often meets with the heavens in his residence, Sumi Mountain in Shan Jian, and discusses all the good and evil in the world.

As a protector, his main duty is to protect the Buddha, Buddhism and monks. For example, when the Buddha was practicing under a tree, the devil attacked and disturbed his meditation, and the emperor released the shell snail to protect the Buddha; When the Buddha was in nirvana, Indra reappeared and chanted hymns. He also protected the relics of the Buddha. Buddhist stories about Indra often appear in Buddhist works of art, in which Indra often holds a treasure cover and accompanies Brahma around Sakyamuni.
