Chinese Carved Jade Pendant
迦楼罗
按照佛教《妙法莲华经》等佛经的说法，迦楼罗有种种庄严宝相，金身，头生如意珠，鸣声悲苦，并且以龙为食，每天要吞食五百条龙族
——
其实是那迦蛇族（
Naga
）。随着体内毒气聚集，迦楼罗最后无法进食，上下翻飞七次后，飞往金刚轮山，毒气发作全身自焚，只剩一个纯青琉璃心。天下有无数迦楼罗，由威德、大身、大满、如意四大迦楼罗王统领。同时，迦楼罗也是观世音化身之一。
迦楼罗在佛教中则位列于天龙八部之一，佛教徒为了贴近中国文化而把迦楼罗翻译为大鹏金翅鸟，那迦蛇族翻译为龙族。将迦楼罗食蛇习性加到鲲鹏身上，鲲鹏的鹏鸟形象融合到迦楼罗身上，经过一系列形象融合后，大鹏金翅鸟这一古来未有的形象由此诞生。
迦楼罗金翅鸟分为四种：化生、湿生、胎生、卵生。化生迦楼罗最为强大，其次是湿生迦楼罗，再次是胎生迦楼罗，最后是卵生迦楼罗。天下有无数迦楼罗金翅鸟，由威德、大身、大满、如意四大迦楼罗王统领。迦楼罗以人面鸟身、鸟面人身或全鸟身形像出现。
天龙八部，佛教术语，天龙八部都是
“
非人
”
，包括八种神道怪物，因为
“
天众
”
及
“
龙众
”
最为重要，所以称为
“
天龙八部
”
。八部包括：一天众、二龙众、三夜叉、四乾达婆、五阿修罗、六迦楼罗、七紧那罗、八摩睺罗伽。许多大乘佛经叙述佛向诸菩萨、比丘等说法时，常有天龙八部参与听法。如《法华经：提婆达多品》：
“
天龙八部、人与非人，皆遥见彼龙女成佛
”
。
“
非人
”
是形貌似人，而实际不是人的众生。
据《舍利弗问经》所说：
“
迦娄罗神者。先修大舍。常有高心。以倰于物。故受今身。
