四智印===(名數)一切印契一切法要以四智印攝盡之:一大智印,梵名摩河岐若勿他羅Maha%-jn^a%na-mudra%五相成身之佛也。二三昧耶印,梵名三昧耶岐若勿他羅Samaya-jn^a%na%-mudra%諸尊所持三昧耶形五鈷刀蓮華之類也。又結於諸尊手之印契也,又結於行者手之印契也。三法智印,梵名陀羅摩岐若勿他羅Dharma-jn^a%na-mudra%本尊之種子也。又法身之三摩地也,又顯密一切之契經陀羅尼也。四羯摩智印,梵名羯羅摩岐若勿他羅Karma-jn^a%na-mudra%諸尊之威儀作業也。見諸部要目,秘藏記本。又謂四種曼荼羅。印者決定不改之義,智者決斷簡擇之義,四曼表佛之內德,決定不改,又各守其德,決斷簡擇,故稱智印。見辨惑指南四。所藏記鈔三曰:「問:四種曼荼羅,四智印,有何差別?答:尊者之解釋不一。然依一義只是建立不同,約於輪圓具足之邊,名為四曼,約於決斷不改之邊謂之四智印,於其法體有四曼四智差別也。」
