"He has six arms and his body is the colour of gold... In his crown sits Jizai-o (King of Spontaneity), shown in the form he adopts to preach the Dharma. The first (right) hand makes the 'mudra of thinking' because he thinks with Compassion of sentient beings; the second hand holds a Wish-granting Jewel, which satisfies all desires; the third holds a rosary, which rescues those in the animal births of suffering; the (first) left hand holds a shining mountain, which is perfectly immovable and untilting; the second holds a lotus, which purifies all those who lack the Dharma; and the third hand holds a wheel, whose turning is the preaching of the supreme Dharma. The six arms are omnipresent, and reach into the six paths. Employing the Method of Great Compassion they cut away the suffering of sentient beings."From the "Nyoirin-yuga" as quoted in The Matrix and Diamond World Mandalas in Shingon Buddhism by Adrian Snodgrass (International Academy of Indian Culture and Aditya Prakashan, New Delhi, 1988, page 303).
