"The Pure One" (tshang-pa, Brahma) sits in the eastern direction in the heavenly field 'free from obscuration.' He is orange in color and holds a lotus and a sun. His pristine awareness is "Pure" since it is free from all obscurations; also his function is to purify since he cleanses all sentient beings from cyclic existence; and furthermore his excellent qualities are pure because, through the strength of his immeasurable excellence, he cleanses both himself and others.
