Also read Samaya-e. The second of the nine *mandara ΦδΆ comprising the *Kue mandara γοΦδΆ , where it is positioned below the central Joushin-e ¬gο. It corresponds to the Kongouhimitsu mandara ΰι§ΦδΆ (Adamantine Secret Mandara), the second of the six mandara described in Chap. 1 of the KONGOUCHOUKYU ΰΈo (Diamond Peak Sutra ; Sk:Sarvatathagatatattvasamgraha; Taishou Nos. 865, 882), on which the *Kongoukai mandara ΰEΦδΆ is based. Its name derives from the fact that the deities are all represented by means of symbolic objects sanmayagyou Oλ`, with, for example, the central deity *Dainichi εϊ being represented by a stupa *tou , Kongou satta ΰF½ by a five-pronged vajra *gokosho άΨn, and Kongouhou ΰ@ (Sk:Vajradharma) by a lotus on top of a single-pronged vajra *tokkosho ΖΨn. It is known that *Kuukai σC (774-835) brought back with him a copy of a Kongokai sanmaya mandara ΰEOλΦδΆ executed in line drawing *hakubyou ` on white feltlike cloth, but because the Kue mandara became the most widely used form of the Kongoukai mandara, there are virtually no examples of independent versions of the Sanmaya-e.
