Although original meaning of Virupaksa in Sanskrit was 'the one who has various eyes' or 'the one who has awkward eyes,' such meaning was stretched to 'extraordinary eyes that have particular abilities' and was eventually interpreted as second sight and translated as "komoku (wide eyes)."
ヴィルーパークシャとは本来サンスクリット語で「種々の眼をした者」あるいは「不格好な眼をした者」という意味だが、「尋常でない眼、特殊な力を持った眼」さらに千里眼と拡大解釈され、広目と訳された。
