One can find cases in which the name of suijakushin (the provisional Shinto deity) is derived from the name Honji-butsu (the original Buddhist divinity), as is the case with 'Zao Gongen' (Avatar Zao) derived from 'Zao Bosatsu' (Zao Bodhisattva), but such cases are rare.
「蔵王権現」のように本地仏（「蔵王菩薩」）の名前がそのまま垂迹神の名前として用いられている例もあるが、まれである。
