apramāṇābha (T. tshad med 'od; C. wuliang guang tian 無量光天) is translated as "limitless light," "boundless radiance," "immeasurable radiance," etc.[1][2]
Apramāṇābha is one of the deva realms of the rupadhatu, and also the name of the devas living there. Within the rupadhatu, this is second of the three deva realms of the second dhyana.[2] Rebirth in this realm is the karmic result of accomplishing the second meditative absorption.[2]
