Who are the Four Great kings?

The Four Great Kings are commonly associated with Taoism and are better known as guardian deities of Chinese Buddhist temples. They are also found in the Tipitaka and referred to as Cattaro Maharaja (Four Great Kings), from Cātummahārājika Heaven, the lowest deva world.

What is the connection between the Atanatiya Sutta and the Four Great Kings?

According to the Atanatiya Sutta, the Kings approached the Lord Buddha when he was staying in Vulture’s Peak near Rajagaha. King Vessavana, the spokesman, told him that the majority of yakkhas neither respected nor had faith in him, as they did not observe the five precepts .

In order to instill faith in such yakkhas, the Kings offered the Atanatiya Sutta to the Buddha to be used by bhikkhus and bhikkhunis, as well as lay disciples for their protection and comfortable living in respect of malicious spirits. King Vessavana said that any evil spirit who disturbed a bhikkhu, bhikkhuni or lay disciple who had mastered the paritta verses of the Atanatiya Sutta would be denied privileges and be punished.

The Atanatiya Paritta forms only part of the Atanatiya Sutta and comprises 51 verses. The complete Atanatiya Sutta comprises these 51 verses as well as an invocation to the yakkha generals to punish any evil spirit who stubbornly continues to harass a Buddhist.

All Buddhists can freely recite the Atanatiya Paritta at any time for their protection from evil spirits. May interested Buddhists learn and master the Atanatiya Paritta for their protection, freedom from harm as well as comfortable living with respect to evil spirits.
