大自在天與男根 [da zi zai tian yu nan gen]—Maheśvara (大自在天 [da zi zai tian]) and the Male Organ
[Terminology] Maheśvara (大自在天 [da zi zai tian]) signifies the origin of all things. Followers of the Maheśvara sect worship the human male organ as the divine essence of the deity. The Xu Gaoseng Zhuan (續高僧傳 [xu gao seng chuan]), Xuanzang's biography, states: "Upon reaching the country of Kapilavastu (劫比他國 [jie bi ta guo]), the local custom was to worship Maheśvara (大自在天 [da zi zai tian]). Their temple was over a hundred feet high, and within it was a 'divine root' (天根 [tian gen]), which they believed to be the source of all sentient beings. The king and the common people revered it without shame or contempt. Temples to deities in various countries invariably displayed this form. Among the hundreds of different sects, Maheśvara (自在 [zi zai]) was the most prominent." The Xiyu Ji (西域記 [xi yu ji]), account of Gandhāra (健馱羅國 [jian tuo luo guo]), states: "Fifty li northeast of Puruṣapura (跋虜沙城 [ba lu sha cheng]) is a high mountain. On the mountain is a blue stone statue of the consort of Maheśvara (大自在天 [da zi zai tian]), the goddess Vimalā (毘摩羅天女 [pi mo luo tian nu]). It is said by the locals that this divine image appeared naturally. Its miraculous powers are many, and prayers offered to it are numerous. People from various Indian countries seeking blessings and wishes, both noble and humble, near and far, gather there. At the foot of the mountain is a temple to Maheśvara (大自在天 [da zi zai tian])."
Thus, it was initially the male organ, and later the female organ. The meaning of these male and female organs is even clearer when associated with the name Nārāyaṇa (那羅延 [na luo yan]), who is considered to be of the same essence as Maheśvara (自在天 [zi zai tian]). (Brahmā, Nārāyaṇa, and Maheśvara are a unified trinity, as previously cited.) The Xuanying Yinyi (玄應音義 [xuan ying yin yi]), Volume 25, states: "Nārāyaṇa (那羅延 [na luo yan]): nara (那羅 [na luo]) translates as 'human,' and yāna (延那 [yan na]) translates as 'origin of birth,' meaning the origin of human birth. This is Brahmā. Heterodox practitioners believe that all humans originate from Brahmā, hence the name 'origin of human birth'." The Jushe Guangji (俱舍光記 [ju she guang ji]), Volume 27, states: "Nārāyaṇa (那羅延 [na luo yan]) is the name of a deity, translated as 'human species deity'."
The abode of this deity Nārāyaṇa (那羅延天 [na luo yan tian]) is the sixth heaven, at the summit of the desire realm. He is constantly an obstacle to the Buddhist path, and thus in Buddhism, he is called Māra (摩羅天 [mo luo tian]). The Huishu Yinyi (慧疏音義 [hui shu yin yi]), Volume 6, states: "Nārāyaṇa (那羅延 [na luo yan]) is the name of a deity in the desire realm." The Zhidulun (智度論 [zhi du lun]), Volume 5, states: "One who robs the life of wisdom and destroys the merits and good roots of the Dharma is called Māra (魔 [mo]). Heterodox practitioners call him the lord of desire, also 'flower arrow,' or 'five arrows.' He destroys various good deeds, and in Buddhism, he is called Māra (魔羅 [mo luo])." (The arrow of Aizen Myōō, in its most esoteric teaching, also symbolizes the male organ.) The same text, Volume 10, states: "Māra (魔王 [mo wang]) is the lord of the six desire heavens."
Initially, the female organ was called Vimalā (毘摩羅 [pi mo luo]) (the vi in Vibhāṣā, Vaiśravaṇa, Vairocana means wonderful, excellent, high, great). Furthermore, the name Māra (摩羅 [mo luo]) originally referred to both male and female organs, as seen in the entry for Māra (摩羅 [mo luo]).
大自在天與男根—【術語】大自在天依萬物生本之義。而自在天派之人。以人之男根為天神之神實而祀之。續高僧傳玄奘傳曰：「至劫比他國，俗事大自在天。其精舍者高百餘尺，中有天根，謂諸有趣，由此而生。王民同敬不為鄙恥，諸國天祠率置此形。大都異道有百數，中所高者自在為多。」西域記健馱羅國記曰：「跋虜沙城東北五十里至崇山，山有青石，大自在天婦像毘摩羅天女也。聞諸土俗曰：此天像者自然有也，靈異既多祈禱亦眾。印度諸國求福請願，貴賤畢萃遠近咸會，乃至山下有大自在天祠。」是初為男根，後為女根也，此男女根之義。為與自在天同體之那羅延天名，更為分明（梵王與那羅延與摩醯首羅一體三分如上所引）。玄應音義二十五曰：「那羅延，那羅此翻為人，延那此云生本，謂人生本，即是梵王。外道謂一切人皆從梵王生，故名人生本也。」俱舍光記二十七曰：「那羅延是神名，此云人種神。」此那羅延天之居處，居於欲界之頂上第六天，常為佛道之障礙，故佛法之中名為摩羅天。慧疏音義六曰：「那羅延，欲界中天名也。」智度論五曰：「奪慧命壞道法功德善本是故名為魔，諸外道人輩言是名欲主，亦名華箭，亦名五箭。破種種善事，佛法中名為魔羅。」（愛染明王之箭，極秘說亦表男根）。同十曰：「魔王六欲天主。」其先以女根為毘摩羅（Vimalā）（毘如毘婆沙毘沙門毘盧舍那之毘妙勝高大之義）。又，摩羅之名，本來為男女根之名，見摩羅條。(自在天)(摩羅)
