The Buddha Vairochana is frequently described in Tantric works, but the description occurs in Advayavajrasangraha in full. He originates from the white syllable Om placed on the orb of the moon. He is the embodiment of the Tathagata family, and is established as an embodiment of ideal knowledge.
The rear portion of the throne is embossed with sacred words.
