“天龙八部”是佛教术语，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。
Tianlong babu (Sanskrit: Astagatyah or Astauparsadah) is a Buddhist term, referring to the eight classes of supernatural beings with special powers. They are called tianlong babu (Eight Classes of Supernatural Beings) in Chinese because tian (devas) and long (nagas) are the highest-ranking among the eight classes, including deva, naga, yaksha, gandharva, asura, garuda, kinnara and mahoraga.
