Of the few other mentions specifically of Aparimitāyurjñāna in the canonical texts, one appears to be in The Root Manual of the Rites of Mañjuśrī (Mañjuśrīmūlakalpa, Toh 543), in which the Buddha Śākyamuni tells of a buddha with the names Aparimitāyurjñānarāja and Amitāyurjñānaviniścayarājendra, who has taught the king of vidyās that consists of a single letter. His pure realm is called Amitavyūhavatī, or simply Amitāyus.⁹ He is also mentioned as one of nine tathāgatas from buddhafields in the eastern direction present in the assembly.¹⁰
