किं कारणं मञ्जुशिरी इयं हि रश्मिः प्रमुक्ता नरनायकेन ।
प्रभासयन्ती भ्रमुकान्तरातु ऊर्णाय कोशादियमेकरश्मिः ॥ १ ॥
kiṃ kāraṇaṃ mañjuśirī iyaṃ hi raśmiḥ pramuktā naranāyakena |
prabhāsayantī bhramukāntarātu ūrṇāya kośādiyamekaraśmiḥ || 1 ||
Why, Manjusri, does this ray darted by the guide of men shine forth from between his brows? this single ray issuing from the circle of hair? and why this abundant rain of Mandaravas?
