󲹰ṇa (निराभर�) refers to �(being) unadorned�, according to the Nāmamantrārthāvalokinī by Vilāsavajra, which is a commentary on the Nāmasaṃgīti.—Accordingly, [while describing Mahāvairocana]—“And then [the Sādhaka should visualise] Mahāvairocana on the principal seat, generated by means of the syllable . [...] He is white in colour because he has the Dharma-Sphere as his nature. He has braids of hair [stacked up on his head] as a crown and is unadorned (Ծ󲹰ṇa) because he is one whose mind is tranquil. Since he has both wisdom and means as his nature he makes the ǻⲹī (“highest awakening�) hand gesture�.
