Manjushri, the ancient and paramount bodhisattva, made his debut in early Mahayana Sutras. His connection with the Prajnaparamita Sutras solidified his role as the embodiment of Prajna, or wisdom.
Manjushri is often depicted wielding a flaming sword in his right hand, symbolizing the illumination of transcendent wisdom that cuts through ignorance and duality. His left-hand cradles the Prajnaparamita sutra, supported by a lotus, signifying his attainment of ultimate realization through the blossoming of wisdom. His hair is very dark, half tied up and half loose coming down to his shoulders.
