The Bodhisattva Amitaprabha (Boundless Light) also spelt as Amṛtaprabha (Light of Nectar) is described thrice in the Niṣpannayogā- valī. Twice he is mentioned as of white colour and only once as red. It thus appears that Amitaprabha should belong to the family of Vairocana because of his white colour. His spiritual father will be Amitābha when he is red in colour.
