天津麻羅 (canonical)
天津麻羅 (canonical)
Amatsumara (romanization)

Phrase consisting of 天 (ama, “heaven”) + つ (tsu, Old Japanese possessive particle) + まら (mara). The 津 is ateji. The mara portion is of unknown origin, but theories include:
* Alteration from 目占 (meura, “eye divination”), suggesting one-eyed, from how a smith will visually check the temperature of the working metal by looking at it with one eye, or possibly from the way that many smiths lose an eye in the course of their work.
* From a Mongolian word mara meaning iron.
* From Sanskrit-derived Buddhist term 摩羅 (mara, “penis”), by metaphor for a smith's hammer.
The second theory is problematic, as there does not appear to be any Mongolian term with a pronunciation similar to mara that means iron, or even steel or metal or smith. The third theory is problematic as the Buddhist term came into Japanese later than the formative period for myths naming Amatsumara. Thus, if the first theory is accepted as the most likely, Amatsumara is likely the same god as 天目一個 (Amanomahitotsu, literally “heaven's one-eyed”).

Buddhist expression borrowed from Chinese 諸行無常 /诸行无常 (zhūxíngwúcháng), in turn a translation (directly or via Pali) of Sanskrit सर्व संस्कारा अनित्याः (sarva saṃskārā anityāḥ, literally “all deeds are impermanent”).
As Japanese, also analyzable as a compound of 諸行 (shogyō, “all things”) + 無常 (mujō, “impermanent, transient”).
The two constituent Japanese terms are citable to the early 600s, while the first citations of the full four-character phrase in Chinese are from around the mid-600s. However, the full four-character phrase in Japanese usage is first cited much later in the 観智院本三宝絵 (Kanchi-in-bon Sanbō-E), a collection of Buddhist writings from 984.
