散那 [san na]—Sanna — The Sanskrit term for Bodhisattva Mìjī Jīngāng (菩薩密迹金剛 [pu sa mi ji jin gang]).
Xuányìng's Glossary of Sounds and Meanings (玄應音義 [xuan ying yin yi]) states in Volume One: 'Mìjī (密迹 [mi ji]), in Sanskrit, is Sanna, translated as "Secret Lord" (密主 [mi zhu]). "Secret" (密 [mi]) is the name, because [he] knows the Buddha's secret merits and virtues; "Lord" (主 [zhu]) is the lord of Yakshas (夜叉 [ye cha]). According to the Sanskrit texts, there is no meaning of "trace" (迹 [ji]) at all. It should be understood that [he] manifests traces (示迹 [shi ji]) as a deity, hence the translators of the scriptures created this name based on its meaning.'
Sanskrit: Ṣaṇḍa.
散那—【菩薩】密迹金剛之梵語。玄應音義一曰：「密迹，梵言散那，譯云密主。密是名也，以知佛之密功德故也，主者夜叉主也。案梵本都無迹義，當以示迹為神，故譯經者義立名耳。」梵 Ṣaṇḍa。
