Also read Kiyotaki Gongen. A protective deity associated with the Chinese temple Qinglongsi (Jp: Seiryūji 青竜寺) in Chang'an (Jp: Chōan 長安). She was enshrined in Jingoji 神護寺 in Takao 高尾 as a guardian of the Shingon 真言 sect by *Kūkai 空海 (774-836) upon his return from China. She was worshipped by priest Shōbō 聖宝 (832-909) at Daigoji 醍醐寺 as a manifestation of Nyoirin Kannon 如意輪観音. This Kannon was said to grant long life, safe births, and to stave off natural disasters. Structures dedicated to her were built at the summit and foot of Mt. Takao in 1097. She usually appears as a lady wearing court robes jūnihitoe 十二単 and carrying a jewel *hōju 宝珠. However she is also identified with *Zennyo Ryūō 善女竜王, a legendary dragon king who appeared and brought rain to Kūkai and who is usually seen in Chinese robes with a dragon's tail poking out from under them.
