c11.s15.2
This Bodhisattva who destroys all sorrows and inertia is described thrice in the Niṣpannayogāvalī. He is given twice the yellow colour or the colour of gold or whitish yellow and once the red. Thus the Bodhisattva undoubtedly belongs to the family of the Dhyāni Buddha Ratnasambhava, although red suggests Amitābha also.
