介绍（中）	单音节金轮的曼陀罗（日语：Ichiji Kinrin Mandara）设想了一个梵文音节的力量，其话语唤起了佛陀颅突起的拟人化。它被用于预防灾难、扩大财富、爱情成功以及确保孩子安全分娩、事业成功和天气良好的仪式中。声音的形象表现位于曼陀罗的中心，由八只狮子承载的莲花基座上。它类似于佛陀大日（梵语：Vairochana），并以被称为智慧拳手印的神圣手势握住双手，象征着完美智慧的非二元性和未开悟者的迷惑本性。周围的人物和形式代表了最高统治者的七个主权象征和佛祖玄武宗神，字面意思是"佛眼，佛母"，他粉碎了无明，感知了万物的本质。使用昂贵的材料和一丝不苟的工艺，特别是在山上的模拟锦缎和山上复杂的切割金箔蓝天石中，反映了对图像制作和仪式空间装饰的功绩的信念。
介绍（英）	The Mandala of the One-Syllable Golden Wheel (Japanese: Ichiji Kinrin Mandara) envisions the power of a single Sanskrit syllable, the utterance of which calls forth a personification of the cranial protuberance of the Buddha. It is used in rituals for the prevention of disaster, for the expansion of wealth, and for success in love, as well as for assuring safe delivery of children, career success, and propitious weather. The figural representation of the sound sits at the center of the mandala on a lotus pedestal borne by eight lions. It resembles the Buddha Dainichi (Sanskrit: Vairochana) and holds its hands in a sacred gesture known as the wisdom-fist mudra, which symbolizes the non-duality of perfect wisdom and the deluded nature of unenlightened beings. The surrounding figures and forms represent the seven emblems of sovereignty of supreme rulers and the deity Butsugen Butsumo, literally “Buddha-eye, Buddha-mother,” who crushes ignorance and perceives the essence of all things. Use of costly materials and meticulous craftsmanship, especially in the simulated brocade of the mounting and the intricate cut-gold-leaf-on-azurite of the mountain, reflect a belief in the meritorious nature of image making and the ornamentation of ritual space.
