Achala Krodharaja (English: the Immovable One, King of the Wrathful)
The wisdom king Immovable. Immovable is a main deity among the wisdom kings, a group of deities who are said to remove all obstacles and defeat all devils that hinder Buddhist practice. He is regarded as the leader of the five great wisdom kings, the other four being
Conqueror of the Threefold World, Kundali, Great Awesome Virtue, and Diamond Yaksha, as well as of the eight great wisdom kings (the above five deities plus Ucchushma, Unconquerable, and Horse-Headed).It is said that he enters the flame-emitting meditation in which he emits flames that destroy all karmic hindrances. Because he remains unperturbed by obstacles, he is called Immovable. He is popularly depicted as an angry figure surrounded by flames, holding a rope and a sword. The Sanskrit name Achala means immovable, and natha means a lord or a protector.
Originally a minor deity described as a messenger or acolyte of the buddha Vairocana, Achala later rose to prominence as an object of veneration in his own right as a remover of obstacles and destroyer of evil, eventually becoming seen as the wrathful manifestation of either Vairocana, the buddha Akṣobhya, or the bodhisattva Mañjuśrī. In later texts, he is also called Caṇḍaroṣaṇa (चण्डरोषण, "Violent Wrathful One", or Caṇḍamahāroṣaṇa (चण्डमहारोषण, "Violent One of Great Wrath", the names by which he is more commonly known in countries like Nepal and Tibet.
In East Asian esoteric Buddhism, Achala is classed among the Wisdom Kings and is preeminent among the five Wisdom Kings of the Womb Realm. Accordingly, he occupies an important hierarchical position in the Mandala of the Two Realms. Achala (as Fudō) is one of the especially important and well-known divinities in Japanese Buddhism, being especially venerated in the Shingon, Tendai, Zen, and Nichiren sects, as well as in Shugendō.
Achala has been worshiped throughout the Middle Ages and into modern times in Nepal, Tibet, China and Japan, where sculptural and pictorial representations of him are most often found.
