Trinity - Sanshintai (English spelling) Trimūrti [Sanskrit]

Japanese: 三神一体 - さんしんいったい(英語表記)trimūrti[サンスクリツト]
Trinity - Sanshintai (English spelling) Trimūrti [Sanskrit]
A Hindu doctrine that Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva are in fact the same god, or are merely different names for the supreme principle of the universe. The Hari-Vansha, which is a supplement to the great epic poem Mahabharata, already teaches that Vishnu and Shiva are the same, but in the Puranas the three gods, including Brahma, are stated to be the same. In other words, the supreme principle of the universe creates the world as Brahma, maintains it as Vishnu, and destroys it as Shiva.

Japanese:
ヒンドゥー教の教理のひとつで,ブラフマー神(梵天)とビシュヌ神とシバ神は,実は同一神,ないし宇宙の最高原理の別名にほかならないということを意味する。大叙事詩《マハーバーラタ》の補遺としての性格をもつ《ハリ・バンシャ》に,すでに,ビシュヌ神とシバ神は同一であるとの見方が説かれているが,プラーナ文献にいたって,ブラフマー神を加えた三神が同一であることが表明されるようになった。つまり,宇宙の最高原理が,ブラフマー神として世界を創造し,ビシュヌ神としてそれを維持し,シバ神としてそれを破壊する,というのである。
