This title seems to be a bit misleading, although rgyal refers to kings i guess it should be understood as 'king-like spirit'. (see the wiki entry gyalpo ) It seems to be Pehar (http://www.himalayanart.org/search/set.cfm?setID=473) and so I've translated it as 'the five manifestations of the king-like spirit Pehar'
