本页列出六臂文殊菩萨造像, 主要包括文殊金刚(Manjuvajra, 三面六臂, 双手结“殊胜三界手印”, 该手印请参看金刚总持). 很多时候这种形象的文殊又被称为密集文殊金刚, 在这里暂时不纠结这些称谓在佛教和学术里是否真正的准确.

Manjushri, Manjuvajra (Tibetan: jam pal yang, jam pal dor je): one of many complex forms of the deity Manjushri having arisen from the text of the Manjushri-namasangiti Tantra [TBRC W22003]. There are seven main mandalas with deities and this is the seventh from that group. This form of Namasangiti Manjushri is sometimes mistakenly identified as Manjuvajra Guhyasamaja(密集文殊金刚) who embraces a consort with the two main hands.

“Holy Manjuvajra, orange, with three faces and six hands, the main face is orange, the right face blue, left red. The first two hands embrace the self-luminous consort and the two lower right [hands] hold a sword and arrow. The two lower left hold a bow and a blue utpala [flower].” (bod brgyud nang bstan lha tshogs chen mo bzhugs so, 2001. ISBN 7-5420-0816-1).

文殊菩萨
文殊菩萨:四臂文殊(敏捷文殊)
文殊菩萨:八臂文殊(法语界文殊)

文殊金刚(六臂文殊)一般为三面六臂。根据密教经典《成就法海》记载：“文殊金刚三面六臂、身躯黄色、着菩萨装；三面表“法报化三身”之意，六臂结印、持宝剑、莲花、弓、箭等法器，代表五部如来之智慧”。双手结殊胜三界印，双臂在胸前交叉。
