Mudrāmudrita (मुद्रामुद्रित) refers to “(being) sealed by the seal”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “[...] The world with its gods, humans and anti-gods is indeed sealed with that seal, and the seal of the Tathāgata is the seal which is not originated, empty, signless, wishless, unconditioned, free from desire, just as it is, the limit of reality, and open space. Just as the seal in the sky does not appear, the seal of the Tathāgata does not appear to even the five kinds of sight as it is sealed by the seal having its own essential character (svalakṣaṇa-mudrāmudrita)”.
