Would someone who knows how to edit like to include this role of Virūḍhaka? Is it only in Japan, or are there Sanskrit or Pali texts of this?

-- 5:12 The next drawing is a fantastic work could have been drawn a couple of years ago by a manga artist. This fantastic explosion and that's quite exactly what it is, there's a story about Virūḍhaka who this figure is who eradicated the Buddha's family and in revenge the Buddha struck him with lightning. And this is the moment of his death when he's sort of struck, literally thunderstruck, by this bolt of lightning which explodes in this fantastic manga-esque way. — Alfred Haft (British Museum) Htrowsle (talk) 09:10, 29 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
