Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid

English

 Nīla-kāyika,  n. of a class of gods,  noted only in LV 〔383.9〕 °kair devaputrair,  and 11 Vairocano (q.v.,  7) nāma Nīlakāyiko devaputraḥ. I have been unable to find anything more about this term. Tib. renders sṅon po (blue) ris (form,  figure
 also party,  like BHS kāya). This suggests that Tib. understood belonging to the group of Nīla (blue) ones,  rather than blue-bodied. In LV they,  and their spokesman Vairocana,  seem to be superior to the four mahārāja gods.
