Definition in this text:

The sūtra contains the only known reference to a nāga king and kinnara king who both have this name in Sanskrit. The nāga’s name was translated into Tibetan as “hundred mouths” (kha brgya pa), and the kinnara as “hundred faces” (bzhin brgya pa). Other deities with the name Śatamukha appear in Indian literature.
