Interpretation / Description

Manjushri, Arya (Tibetan: jam pal yang, pag pa).

"Vajra Manjushri with one face and four hands, a saffron complexion, youthful with the marks and examples. The first right hand holds a sword upraised, the first left an utpala blossom, the Prajnaparamita book above; in the lower two an arrow and a bow of method and transcendend knowledge. Adorned with silks, jewels and flower ornaments; various rays of light endlessly shine forth." (Ju Mipam Rinpoche, 1846-1912. Collectected Works, vol. Dhih).
