Avalokiteshvara as Shadakshari Lokeshvara; Hanging with Shadakshari Avalokiteshvara

The Sanskrit inscription at the top of the hanging occurs in two lines. The first consists of the letter hrih, a seed syllable associated with the deity. The second line is a six-syllable mantra: om mani pa dme hum (Hail to the jewel lotus). The Tibetan inscription is a verse, which has been variously translated as follows: 1. "May there be the auspicious blessings of the Three Jewels / Which [bring] well-being in the daytime, well-being at night, / And also well-being at midday - / Well-being always, day and night!" 2. "Joy in the morning, joy in the evening; / When the sun is at its zenith, joy; / The Three Jewels are a joy day and night, / May they be auspicious."
