The symbol

The moon disc, paired with the sun in Tibetan iconography, is cool, gentle and soothing, and its light is often compared to nectar. Moonlight does not force anything to grow; it simply makes the night pleasant. The answer here works the same way.

The two throws

The Nectar Rays of the Moon comes up when the first throw of the die shows A (space) and the second shows PA (water).

ཨ
First: A · Space

A is the first sound of every alphabet and the syllable of open space. It stands for what is wide, clear and not yet filled: room to move, a fresh start, nothing in the way.

པ
Second: 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.
