Sengshenerye means "right and clear knowledge." This King of Right and Clear Knowledge has twenty-eight great yaksha generals. The Buddha told Ananda: "These twenty-eight divisions of yakshas manifest great, free, supernatural powers and majestic virtues. They can protect all living beings in the ten directions, removing decline, calamity, misfortune, and hardship. There are four great yaksha generals residing in the east, guarding all beings of the eastern direction, enabling them to leave behind sorrow and suffering. Their names are: Dipojia (tall and large), Sunidaluo (wondrous eyes), Bulouna (perfect and full), and Quebili (yellow color)."
After singing, he then spoke of the matter he sought.
"Ananda! There are four great yaksha generals dwelling in the southern direction, protecting all beings in the south, freeing them from sorrow and suffering. Their names are: Simha (Lion), Upasimha (Little Lion), Sankha (Conch), and Candana (Sandalwood)."
