The Bodhisattva Jālinīprabha (Light of the Sun) is also known by the name of Sūryaprabha and he is described three times in the Niṣpannayogāvalī. The symbol of Jālinīprabha is the disc of the sun and his red colour suggests that he is the spiritual son of the Dhyāni Buddha Amitābha. In the Chinese collection he is represented as Amitābha. Fig. 60 is a Nepalese drawing of Jālinīprabha.
