三昧耶曼荼羅 [san mei ye man tu luo]—Samaya Mandala — [Term] Samaayamṇḍala, one of the Four Types of Mandalas (四種曼陀羅 [si zhong man tuo luo]). It uses forms such as stupas (塔婆 [ta po]), jewels (宝珠 [bao zhu]), five-pronged vajras (五鈷 [wu gu]), swords (刀劍 [dao jian]), etc., and mudras and seals (印契 [yin qi]), as symbols of the inner virtues of the various deities. Samaya (三昧耶 [san mei ye]) means equality, specifically the equality of inner virtue and outer form. It is also interpreted as the meaning of original vow (本誓 [ben shi]), representing the original vow of that deity. The Hizōki (秘藏記 [mi cang ji]) states: "Samaya Mandala signifies the equality of the implements, weapons, and mudras and seals (印契 [yin qi]) held by the deities."
