4.177

毘盧遮那(梵語訛也應云吠嚕左曩舊譯云光明遍照新翻為大日如來云如大日輪無幽不燭也)。

毘盧遮那 (Vairocana): A corrupt Sanskrit word. It should properly be said as Vairocanā (吠嚕左曩). The old translation renders it as 'Pervasive Radiant Illumination'; the new translation renders it as Mahāvairocana Tathāgata (Great Sun Tathāgata), meaning like the great solar disc, there is no darkness it does not illuminate.
