Manjushri

"The oldest of the Bodhisattvas, in terms of worship. He confers wisdom, memory, intelligence, and eloquence.

"...he set out to find the source of the light, and discovered that it burnt below the surface of a great lake surrounded by mountains. He drew his sword and carved a deep trench through the rocks. The water flowed away and exposed the becautiful valley which is now called Nepal, through which the River Baghmati still flows. "
