Amitābha,
(1) n. of the Buddha who presides over the western paradise Sukhāvatī (lokadhātu)
also known as Amitāyu(s), Amitaprabha, Amitanātha, and doubtless intended by the Mmk names Amitāyu(rjñāna)viniścayarājendra (or the like), even tho he is once depicted separately in a painting centering about that personage (Mmk 〔305.12—13〕, cf. 〔304.25〕). See these names separately. The two commonest names are Amitābha and Amitāyus, and they are as a rule quite equivalent and interchangeable
see notably Sukh 〔62.13—14〕
〔95.15〕 and 20. Often Sukhāvatī is mentioned with him. He is the fourth of the ‘transcendent’ Buddhas, Dharmas 〔3〕
Mvy 〔85〕. Other occurrences: Suv 〔2.5〕
Bhad 〔49, 57, 59, 62〕
Śikṣ 〔175.6〕
Kv 〔18.7〕
〔21.8〕 etc.
Mmk 〔42.16〕
〔426.7〕
Gv 〔82.5〕
Laṅk 〔283.7〕
Sukh 〔1.6〕
〔28.10〕 etc.
Sādh 〔16.10〕 etc.
(2) n. of a Bodhisattva: Gv 〔442.22〕 (one of a long list, and hardly to be identified with the Buddha A.).
