Namasangiti, Manjushri (Tibetan: jam pal tsan ju) from the Tantra of the same name.At the bottom left is a lama seated on a throne wearing red monastic robes and hat accepting white scarves from a lama and a lay woman wearing an apron. Seated to the right is the wealth deity yellow Jambhala with one face and two hands holding a bijapuraka fruit in the right and a mongoose in the left. Seated above the lama is the long-life buddha, Amitayus, with the hands folded in the lap holding a vase.Near to the bottom right corner are two small figures with hands folded together at the heart, seated upon lotus blossoms and facing towards Manjushri. These two, possibly deceased children, may well be the reason for the commissioning of the artwork. The merit gained from the sponsoring and viewing of the painting is dedicated towards a beneficial rebirth for the two individuals.The Manjushri Namasangiti Tantra was first translated into Tibetan in the 8th century and re-translated during the Sarma period in the 11th century. It is classified in some traditions as Yoga Tantra and by others as Anuttarayoga. The Tantra is memorized by lamas and monks of all traditions.The red and blue colours, elaborate ornamentation and crowded figures suggest a Southern Tibetan style with a strong Nepali influence.Jeff Watt 7-98
