Manjushri is a bodhisattva associated with prajna(wisdom) in Mahayana Buddhism. His name means "Gentle Glory" in Sanskrit. Manjushri is also known by the fuller name of Manjusrikumarabhuta. Another name of Manjushri is Manjughoṣa.
According to Swayambhu Purana, the Kathmandu Valley was once a lake. It is believed that Manjushri came on a pilgrimage from his earthly abode-Wutaishan(five-peaked mountain) in China. He saw a lotus flower in the center of the lake, which emitted brilliant radiance. He cut a gorge at Chovar with his flaming sword to allow the lake to drain. The place where the lotus flower settled became the great Swayambhunath Stupa and the valley thus became habitable.

A mantra commonly associated with Manjushri is the following:
om arapacana dhih
The Sutra on Perfect Wisdom (Conze 1975) defines the significance of each syllable thus:
A is a door to the insight that all dharmas are unproduced from the very beginning (adya-anutpannatvad).
RA is a door to the insight that all dharmas are without dirt (rajas).
PA is a door to the insight that all dharmas have been expounded in the ultimate sense (paramartha).
CA is a door to the insight that the decrease (cyavana) or rebirth of any dharma cannot be apprehended, because all dharmas do not decrease, nor are they reborn.
NA is a door to the insight that the names (i.e. nama) of all dharmas have vanished; the essential nature behind names cannot be gained or lost.
