The symbol

The lotus, another of the eight auspicious symbols, grows from mud and blooms clean above the water. It stands for purity of mind arising out of ordinary life. A golden lotus adds wealth and lasting value to that purity.

The two throws

The Golden Lotus comes up when the first throw of the die shows PA (water) and the second shows NA (earth).

པ
First: PA · Water

PA is the syllable of water. It soothes, nourishes and heals, and it carries feeling and enjoyment. Disturbed, water turns murky; dried up, it leaves nothing behind.

ན
Second: NA · Earth

NA is the syllable of earth. It stands for what is solid and lasting: land, home, property, the body and slow, steady increase.
