3.43

無量相者,相好無量故。無量幢者,身量功德高而復峻由如幢也。大光者,身智二光無不照故。大明者,得佛三明無不知故,即正遍知也。寶相者,內外二相皆可寶重故。淨光者,淨者無漏。光者身智二光,故言淨光也。

As for 'Amitaketu,' it is because his marks and signs are limitless. 'Amitadhvaja': his bodily dimension and merit are high and lofty, just like a banner. 'Mahāprabha': because the two lights of body and wisdom illuminate everywhere. 'Mahāprabhāsa': because he has attained the Buddha's three clarities and there is nothing he does not know, which is the correct and universal knowledge. 'Ratnaketu': because both his internal and external marks are worthy of treasure and veneration. 'Śuddhaprabha': 'pure' means uncontaminated (anāsrava); 'light' means the two lights of body and wisdom; hence he is called Pure Light."
