現圖曼陀羅 [xian tu man tuo luo]—The two revealed or revealing maṇḍalas, the garbhadhātu and vajradhātu.
[The following represents an unverified English translation. For all purposes consult the original Chinese text.]
現圖曼陀羅 [xian tu man tuo luo]—Currently Depicted Mandala—[Term] These are the Two Mandalas of the Womb Realm and Vajra Realm (胎藏金剛之兩部曼荼羅 [tai cang jin gang zhi liang bu man tu luo]) that are circulated in the world. Originally, they appeared in the sky, hence the name "Xiàntú" (currently depicted/present figure). Alternatively, they are called "Xiàntú" because they are currently depicted or illustrated. The Vajra Mandala (金曼 [jin man]) was transmitted by Vajrabodhi (金剛智 [jin gang zhi]) and Amoghavajra (不空 [bu kong]), while the Womb Realm Mandala (胎曼 [tai man]) was transmitted by Subhakarasimha (善無畏 [shan wu wei]). Some also say that both mandalas were transmitted by Subhakarasimha.
Mandala Daichō (曼陀羅大鈔 [man tuo luo da chao]) states: "Regarding this 'Xiàntú Mandala': Tripitaka Master Subhakarasimha (善無畏三藏 [shan wu wei san cang]) renounced his royal position to enter the secret teachings. He reverently received the two great dharmas from Vajrabodhi (金剛智 [jin gang zhi]) and then conferred them upon the Great King of the Gandhara Kingdom (北天竺堅陀羅陀國 [bei tian zhu jian tuo luo tuo guo]) in Northern India. At that time, the Great King said: 'I have just reverently seen the two mandalas!' At that moment, Subhakarasimha (善無畏 [shan wu wei]) had originally invoked the blessings of the saints at the King Jinsu Pagoda (金粟王塔 [jin su wang ta]), and they appeared vividly in the sky. These were the mandalas. (omitted) Or it is said: In the Murula Kingdom (暮嚕羅國 [mu lu luo guo]) of Northern India, there was a king named King Jinsu, who took refuge with Tripitaka Master Subhakarasimha (善無畏三藏 [shan wu wei san cang]) and built a pagoda at his temple. At that time, the King said: 'Grant me the mantra.' The Tripitaka Master (三藏 [san cang]) thought, 'The extensive version of the Mahavairocana Sutra (大日經 [da ri jing]) in India has 100,000 verses and 300 scrolls, it is not convenient to transmit.' At this time, the Tripitaka Master (三藏 [san cang]) prayed to heaven, saying: 'Grant me a dharma suitable for the degenerate age.' After seven days of prayer, a golden-lettered Great Compassion Womb Realm Mandala appeared in the sky. The Tripitaka Master (三藏 [san cang]) then drew it. This is the mandala circulated in the present world." Furthermore, there are various theories regarding the "Xiàntú" (現圖 [xian tu]) of the Vajra Mandala (金曼 [jin man]). See the entry for Nine Assemblies Mandala (九會曼陀羅 [jiu hui man tuo luo]).
現圖曼陀羅—【術語】胎藏金剛之兩部曼荼羅，流布於世者。本為現於空中者，故云現圖。或為現所圖示者，故云現圖。金曼者，金剛智，不空所傳，胎曼者，善無畏所傳，或云兩曼皆善無畏所傳。曼陀羅大鈔一曰：「此現圖曼陀羅者。善無畏三藏捨國位入秘密教，奉值金剛智受兩部大法，為北天竺堅陀羅陀國大王授兩部大法。時大王云：正奉見兩部曼陀羅矣，時善無畏金粟王塔本請聖加被，時炳現虛空。曼陀羅是也。（中略）或說云：北天竺暮嚕羅國有王名金粟王，歸依善無畏三藏建塔置其寺。時王云：授我真言。三藏思，天竺大日經廣本十萬偈三百卷，無便授。此時三藏向天云：授我末世相應法。祈時經七日金字大悲胎藏曼陀羅現空，三藏圖繪之。今世流布曼陀羅是也。」又金曼之現圖有諸說。見九會曼陀羅條。(九會曼陀羅)
