Sarvaprabhāvavairocana (सर्वप्रभाववैरोचन) is the name of a lotus flower, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly: “[...] Then the Bodhisattva Āśupratibhāna made a wish: ‘I have seen a lotus flower called Sarvaprabhāvavairocana in the Padmavyūha universe of the Tathāgata Śrīratnotpala. It would be one krośa wide, consisting of hundred koṭis of young and tender petals, is pleasant to touch like soft cloth, has a fragrance that fills up the Buddha-fields, and has many hundred thousand colors. When the Bodhisattvas see this lotus flower, they are in rapture and unable to take their eyes off it. By seeing the lotus flower and by smelling its fragrance, the Bodhisattvas attain concentration. Please pour down the rain of such lotus flowers on us’ [...]”.
