34.9

二頂禮文殊足下遶無數匝辭退南行者，頭頂禮足，以已之尊高至彼之足下，是敬極之禮也。遶無數匝，敬順法心。辭退南行，昇進明智。

Second, regarding prostrating at Mañjuśrī's feet, circumambulating him countless times, taking leave, and traveling south: Prostrating with one's head at another's feet, bringing one's own exalted position down to his feet, is the utmost rite of reverence. Circumambulating countless times expresses a reverent compliance with the mind of Dharma. Taking leave and traveling south signifies ascending and advancing toward luminous wisdom.
