The Quintessence of the Arya Manjushri Tantra
Homage to Manjushri, the youthful!
In this way, to the Awakened One, the transcendent Lord,
The wisdom kaya, spontaneously arisen,
The single eye of wisdom, entirely unobscured,
The light of wisdom, forever shining brightly,
To you, Arapachana, I pay homage.
To you, the very embodiment of wisdom, I bow.
Thus it is explained by all the perfect buddha
Manjushri prayer
