常瞿利童女 [chang qu li tong nu]—Changquli Tongnü — [From the Heavenly Deities (天部 [tian bu])] is the Honored One who removes insect poisons (除蟲毒之尊 [chu chong du zhi zun]). Changquli (常瞿利 [chang qu li]) is translated as "Great Body" (大體 [da ti]), or it can be written as Changquli Poisonous Woman (常瞿利毒女 [chang qu li du nu]), or Changquli Youth (常瞿利童子 [chang qu li tong zi]). The Poisonous Woman Sutra (毒女經 [du nu jing]) states: "This Changquli, though appearing as a woman, is in fact not a woman. Good men (善男子 [shan nan zi]), the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas (諸佛菩薩 [zhu fu pu sa]), with their wisdom and supernatural powers (智慧神通 [zhi hui shen tong]), can manifest various forms for sentient beings to transform all poisons (攝化諸毒 [she hua zhu du])." This indicates that this deity is male. The Maiden Sutra (童女經 [tong nu jing]) says: "I wandered to Fragrant Drunken Mountain (香醉山 [xiang zui shan]) and saw a maiden adorned with a hundred blessings and auspicious marks (百福相好 [bai fu xiang hao]). Her body was adorned with deer skin as clothing (鹿皮為衣 [lu pi wei yi]), and poisonous snakes as garlands (諸毒蛇為瓔珞 [zhu du she wei ying luo]). She was accompanied by various poisonous snakes and pythons, which surrounded her in front and behind, playing with her." This illustrates her dwelling in the samadhi of poisonous insects (毒蟲之三昧 [du chong zhi san mei]). The Accomplishment Method (成就法 [cheng jiu fa]) states: "Her body is green, resembling a Dragon King (龍王 [long wang]), with seven heads. A halo (圓光 [yuan guang]) is above her head. One should visualize her with four arms (四臂 [si bi]). Her first right hand holds a trident (三股叉 [san gu cha]), her second right hand holds a peacock tail (孔雀尾 [kong que wei]) with three to five quills. Her first left hand holds a black snake (黑蛇 [hei she]), and her second left hand displays the fearless mudra (無畏 [wu wei])."
常瞿利童女—【天部】除蟲毒之尊也。常瞿利翻云大體，或作常瞿利毒女，又作常瞿利童子。毒女經謂「此常瞿利，雖現女人，而實非女，善男子，諸佛菩薩智慧神通，能為眾生現種種身，攝化諸毒。」此言其為男性也。童女經言：「我遊香醉山，見一童女，百福相好，莊嚴其身，以鹿皮為衣，以諸毒蛇為瓔珞，將諸毒蛇蟒之類，圍繞前後常為伴而戲。」此明其住於毒蟲之三昧也。成就法曰：「身綠色狀如龍王，具七頭，頂有圓光，應想四臂，右第一手持三股叉，第二手執三五基之孔雀尾，左第一手持黑蛇，第二手無畏。」
