White Manjushri (Skt. Sita Mañjuśrī; Tib. འཇམ་དབྱངས་དཀར་པོ་, Jamyang Karpo, Wyl. ‘jam dbyangs dkar po) is another form of the wisdom deity Manjushri. In this form, he is represented with his legs crossed in vajra posture; his right hand in the mudra of supreme generosity holding the stem of a lotus on which rests a sword; and his left hand raised holding a blue lotus on which rests a book.[1]
