21.69

Vairocana (According to the Sanskrit text, the character *vi* [毘] should be pronounced 無廢, translating here as 'manifold'. *Vairocana* means 'illuminating with radiance', meaning that the Buddha with his body and wisdom illuminates sentient beings with manifold radiances. Or it is said: *vi* means 'all-pervading', and *rocana* means 'illuminating', meaning that the Buddha with the unhindered radiance of his body and wisdom universally illuminates the Dharma realm of unobstructed principle and phenomena).
