- ↑ Mahāsthāmaprāpta (Tib. mthu chen thob), whose name means 'The One Who Gained Great Power', is one of the two main bodhisattvas who appear in Sukhāvatī together with Amitābha. In Tibetan Buddhism, he came to be identified with Vajrapāṇī, although they are separate bodhisattvas in the sūtras and in other forms of Buddhism.
