中坛元帅俗称太子爷，谓系哪吒太子。相传系玉皇殿前五营神将之中营元帅也。谓因玉皇上帝为镇压人间邪魔，敕其降生为李靖之三子，名李哪吒。身长六 丈，常能 变化为三头九目六臂，头戴金环，口吐青云，足踏火轮，身佩飞带，神力广大，能腾云驾雾，招风降雨，以摄伏邪魔。台省人民祀奉甚隆，称为中坛元帅，或尊为太 子爷 也，又据宋高僧道宣传云:「道宣持律精苦，尝夜行道临阶坠，忽有一人捧承其足曰：某非常人，乃毗沙门天王太子哪吒也。以护法之故，拥护和尚， 时已久矣」。按此谓哪吒乃为毗沙门王太子，系佛教之护法神也。又据夷坚志载程法师事云：「值黑物如锤，从林间直出，知为石精，遂持哪吒咒，俄而见火毯自身 出，与黑物相击」。此则以道家法师持佛家哪吒咒而有验，故谓哪吒太子为佛教而兼道教之神也。

Nezha (哪吒), also known as Na-zha (Na-ja) or Nata, is a Taoist protection deity, originally of Chinese Buddhist mythology. His official Taoist name is "Marshal of the Central Altar" (中壇元帥). He was then given the title "Third Lotus Prince" (蓮花三太子) after he became a deity.
