【摩尼】或云踰摩。應法師云：「正云末尼，即珠之總名也。此云離垢，此寶光淨，不為垢穢所染。或加梵字，顯其淨也。又翻增長，有此寶處，增長威德。」《大品》云：「如摩尼寶，若在水中，隨作一色。以青物裹，水色即青；若黃赤白紅縹物裹，隨作黃赤白紅縹色。」又《大品》「阿難問憍尸迦：『是摩尼寶，為是天上寶？為是閻浮提寶？』釋提桓因言：『是天上寶。閻浮提人亦有是寶，但功德相，少不具足。』」《大論》云：「有人言此寶珠，從龍王腦中出。人得此珠，毒不能害，入火不燒。」《輔行》曰：「亦云如意。似如唐梵，不同《大論》。《華嚴》云『如意摩尼』，似如並列二名。若《法華》云『摩尼珠等』，似如體別。」《大莊嚴論》：「有摩尼珠，大如膝蓋。」《大論》云：「如意珠，狀如芥粟。」又云：「如意珠，出自佛舍利。若法沒盡時，諸舍利皆變為如意珠。」《觀經》指如意為摩尼。天台云：「摩尼者，如意也。」

> \[Maṇi\] Or called yumo. Master Huilin states: 'Correctly called maṇi, which is the general name for pearls and jewels. It is translated here as free of defilement; this gem is brilliant and pure, unstained by filth. Sometimes the character fan (Brahma) is added to manifest its purity. It is also translated as increasing; where this gem resides, dignity and virtue increase.' The Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā-prajñāpāramitā Sūtra states: 'Like a maṇi jewel, if it is in water, it assumes whatever color is presented. Wrapped in blue cloth, the water's color becomes blue; if wrapped in yellow, red, white, crimson, or light blue cloth, it assumes yellow, red, white, crimson, or light blue accordingly.' Also in the Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā: 'Ānanda asked Kauśika: "Is this maṇi jewel a treasure of the heavens, or is it a treasure of Jambudvīpa?" Śakra Devānām-Indra replied: "It is a treasure of the heavens. People of Jambudvīpa also have this treasure, but its signs of merit are somewhat incomplete."' The Da zhidu lun states: 'Some say this precious pearl comes out of the brain of a dragon king. If a person obtains this pearl, poison cannot harm them, and entering fire they are not burned.' The Fuxing states: 'It is also called cintāmaṇi (wish-fulfilling). It seems that Chinese and Sanskrit differ here from the Da zhidu lun. The Avataṃsaka Sūtra speaks of "wish-fulfilling maṇi," seemingly listing two names side by side. If the Lotus Sūtra speaks of "maṇi jewels and the like," they seem to be distinct substances.' The Mahālaṅkāra-śāstra states: 'There is a maṇi jewel as large as a kneecap.' The Da zhidu lun states: 'The wish-fulfilling jewel is shaped like a mustard seed or millet.' It also states: 'The wish-fulfilling jewel comes from the Buddha's relics. When the Dharma is exhausted and perishes, all the relics transform into wish-fulfilling jewels.' The Guan jing identifies ruyi (cintā) as maṇi. Tiantai says: 'Maṇi means wish-fulfilling.'
