"A · Un"
Here is the fist page of explanation of Buddhist terms appear in SS, arranged alphabetically from A to M.
Some of them I could find the root of Sanskrit. I put (Skt :) beside the word ; actually, Sanskrit also use long vowels so I show them all in upper long hyphen (a¯ ). However, if you want to see the original spelling, you may find them in books mentioned in References page. Some of them also found in Archaic Japanese Dictionary which the spelling may be different from present time, so I put the original spelling from Archaic Japanese Dictionary. I put the description and available pictures of moves too.
I'm very sorry that I can't find English
version of the moves. Click the word to see the detail. (note : some moves
in SS2 Asra Zanmaden are not included in this page. It's under construction)
[From SS64, SS2 Asra Zanmaden : Shura
Shiki's move 'Kuge ·A' and 'Kuge ·Un']

his 'Shounekkon' in SS4> =PICTURE=
"Fudoh" (literally, 'immobile one') is abbreviated from "Fudoh Myooh" (Skt : Acalana¯tha)
Myooh (Skt : Vidya¯ra¯ja), literally means 'King of Light or Wisdom' . Myooh were originally non-Buddhist Hindu deity who were adopted into the pantheon of Esoteric Buddhism. They are considered to be incarnation of the cosmic Buddha who proselytize and save non believers with the power of sacred words.
Fudoh Myooh is one of Godaizon Myooh (Godai Myooh) or the Five Great Kings which includes Fudoh Myooh (Skt :Acalana¯tha) , Gohzanze Myooh (Skt : Trailokyavijaya), Gundari Yasha Myooh (Skt : Kundali¯), Daiitoku Myooh (Skt : Yama¯ntaka) and Kongoh Yasha Myooh (Skt : Vajrayaksa). Plus other 2 Myooh, Aizen Myooh (Skt : Ra¯gara¯ja) and Kujaku Myooh (Skt : Maha¯mayu¯ri¯)
Fudoh Myooh is considered a messenger for Dainichi Nyorai. He is called the Myooh who destroy all evils in the world. He is frightful looking and his hair usually falls down over his left shoulder. His right hand carries a devil-conquested sword (Kurikara sword) , left hand carries a lasso to catch and bind evils and behind him, rises a mass of red flame. The picture below is Fudo Myooh, 175.1 cm Height, Painted wood. Kyo-Ogokokuji, Kyoto. Dated 839.
[From SS64, SS2 Asra Zanmaden : Secret boss, 'Gandara']
Gandara, generally, refers to "Gandha¯ra" which is the name of an ancient region at the upstream of Indus river in Northwest India (north of Punjab and northeast of Kashmir). The capital was Purusapura. Now is located in Pechaval of Pakistan. It is the place where Buddhist culture and Grecian culture which was introduced by Alexander melt together.
In SS64, Gandara who is a secret boss, may not
refers to the region because his name is written as "
" but for the name of ancient region, it is written as 
or 
. Sometimes, it is known as "Kendara kuni".

[From SS64, SS2 Asra Zanmaden : Rasetsu
Shiki's move, 'Harai']
<Move
Description : Shiki lie an enemy down, hugs and kiss him. The enemy's status
will become poisoned and life gauge is gradually decreased> =PICTURE=
Harai (Skt : Pa¯ra¯jika)
or Shirai or Danzuzai, refers to the four gravest offences for a Buddhist
monk. Any monk, having committed on of these serious sins, is to be deprived
of all the rights of a monk, and expelled from the position of monk (samgha).
Unchastity, stealing, destruction of life and false statements form the
4 Harai : 1) Having sexual intercourse 2) Stealing 3) Homicide
and 4) Lying about his spiritual attainment.
[From SS2 : Japanese name 'Samurai Spirits Haohmaru Jigoku-Hen]
Jigoku-Hen, actually, it is a Buddhist term and appears in Archaic Japanese dictionaries.
"Haohmaru Jigoku-Hen" may has following meaning :
[From SS64, SS2 Asra Zanmaden : Shura
Shiki's move 'Kekkafuza', doing after Rengemai]
<Move
Description : After Shiki standing on enemy's shoulder (Rengemai), she
'sits' on, prepare to do other moves>
Kekkafuza (Skt : Nyasidat paryanikam
a¯bhujya); "Ka" means the sole of foot, "Fu" means the carapace (?)
of the foot. Kekkafuza is one of sitting pattern. Left foot is pressed
by right foot and the sole of right foot opens up. It is always seen in
general Buddha sculptures. In English, it is called "sitting cross-legged".
[From SSRPG-Yohkadohkoku No Sho : Izumo Shrine's Boss 'Kubira']
In SSRPG, the name of Kubira is written in Katakana and should be a proper name rather than Buddhist term. However, "Kubira", if mention by the meaning of Buddhism :
Kubira (Skt : Kumbhi¯ra), or
his full name "Kubira Daishou", is one of the 12 Yakushi-Kyou or the 12
Yaksa guardians who belongs to Yakushi Nyorai. The 12 Yakushi-Kyou are
Kubira, Bakira, Mekira, Antera, Anira, Santeira, Indara, Haira, Makora,
Shindara, Shoutora and Bikara.
[From SS64, SS2 Asra Zanmaden : Shura
Shiki's move 'Kuuge ·A' and 'Kuuge · Un']
<Move
Description : Shiki jumps forward (A) or backward (Un)>
"Flowering in the sky", refers to flowers seen in the sky by those who have eye trouble; often used metaphorically as objects which, though devoid of substance, appear to exist to those who have delusion.
I guess that "Kuuge" has no Buddhist relation
with the inhalation (A) and exhalation (Un). "A ·Un" may differentiate
the direction of Shiki's move (jump forward or backward).
[From SS64, SS2 Asra Zanmaden : Rasetsu
Shiki's move, 'Mujou']
<Move
Description : Shiki moves quickly (almost disappear) forward to enemy and
attack him> =PICTURE=
Mujou (Skt : Anitya, Anicca), has 2 meanings :
[From SS64, SS2 Asra Zanmaden : Rasetsu
Shiki's move, 'Mumyo']
<Move
Description : Shiki standing, encircles enemy's neck and kiss him. The
enemy will have a symbol of death on his head, then he becomes confused>
=PICTURE=
Mumyo (Skt : Avidya¯, Avijja¯)
can be literally translated as "Without light". It means the condition
that can not realize the truth because of evil passions. Clearer explain, it
is the ignorance of the true nature of existence.
[From SS64, SS2 Asra Zanmaden : Rasetsu
Shiki's move, 'Muyuuka']
<Move
Description : Shiki turns her back to enemy, like 'challenging' him to
slash, but when enemy's attack reaches her, his move is stop and she counterattacks
him> =PICTURE=
Muyuuka (Skt : As'oka) ; from my research, it also has 2 meanings :
"
(notice that the second character is a little bit different) . In Buddhist Dictionaries,
they don't mentioned the meaning about it. Both meanings, I found them in Contemporary
Desk Encyclopaedia.
According to the move description, I think the
meaning of "Muyuuka" should be the first meaning, "No Fear" because Rasetsu
Shiki turns her back to enemy with no fear.
