Manjushri (“Of pleasing splendor,” “Charming Beauty”) is the Bodhisattva of Wisdom and knowledge (prajna).
 He is sitting in the middle of the thangka on a red lotus that rises up above the water. In his right hand a sword. His left hand is in vitarkamudra, the gesture of giving instruction, while a book is lying on the lotus flower beside his left shoulder. Lower left and right, the White and Green Taras; top left and right, Avalokiteshvara as shadakashari and Padmasambhava. At the top, in the center sits the historical Buddha.
 Manjushri is closely associated with the goddess prajnaparamita, who is not his partner, but the personification of knowledge, symbolized by the book on the lotus. A book is always rendered as a rectangular packet – a pile of sheets that lies between two flat, wooden lids. Before the 12th century, these were made of palm leaf, later, of the Hindu god Brahma, who is also depicted with a book (the Vedas).
