You brilliantly clarified the meaning of reality itself, the ultimate intent of the Mother Prajñāpāramitā,

With profound modes of logical reasoning based on dependent origination,

Founder of the Middle Way tradition of the supreme vehicle, prophesied by the Buddha himself—

Noble master Nāgārjuna, to you I pray!

This short praise attributed to Ācārya Nāgārjuna focuses on the ultimate nature of Mañjuśrī—insubstantial, non-dual, colourless, sizeless, and profound. The text is included in the Tengyur (Toh 1131).
