本书所说《时轮续》是指《时轮》的文献，特别是指世尊释迦牟尼佛示现本尊时轮，为香巴拉国王月贤王所说的《本续根本续》KaIacakra Mulatantra ，又作《本初佛大续》 Paramadibuddha 。

《时轮略续》Kalacakra Laguatantra 是由香巴拉二十一代具种王Kalki （有作「部聚主」-译按）的第一代具种王妙吉祥称 Yasas Manjusri 结集。 

《时轮略续》的注释《无垢光明论》 Vimalaprabha 则是妙吉祥称王之子白莲华王 Kulika Pundarika 所造。

In the Indo-Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhist tradition, there are thirty-two Kings of Shambhala, a mythical kingdom.

The first notable king of Shambhala, King Suchandra (sometimes wrongly Sanskritized as "Chandrabhadra," Tib. Dawa Sangpo), was the one who requested teaching from the Buddha. 

In response to his request, the Buddha gave the first Kalachakra root tantra. 

By practicing the Kalachakra the whole of Shambhala became an enlightened society, with Suchandra as the ruler. 

He was followed by an additional six Dharmarajas (Truth Kings). 

His eighth successor, Manjushri Yashas (sometimes wrongly Sanskritized as "Manjushrikirti"), was the first to be known as the Kalki King (Tib. Rigden, wylie: rigs ldan), to be followed by 24 more leading up to the present day.

Pundarika (Tib. Pema Karpo) (176-76 BCE) - White Lotus, Cherished by the Lord of Potala. King Pundarika wrote a commentary called "Vimalaprabha" (Skt.) or "Stainless Light." 

This text, together with the Sri Kalachakra, is the source text of the Kalachakra system as it is now practiced. 

Other practice texts are commentaries on these two. 

The Dalai Lamas are said to be incarnations of Pundarika.

Vimalaprabha (Sanskrit) 《无垢光明论》means 'Stainless Light Commentary', or 'Dri-med ‘od' (in Tibetan), it is a commentary to the Kalachakra tantra, more specifically, the Laghutantra or Abridged Kalachakra Tantra from Shambhala King Manjushri-Yashas. 

The Vimalaprabha was written by Shambhala King Pundarika.

The earliest definition of the term "hatha yoga" is found in this text, which defines it in relation to the center channel, bindu etc.[1]

This Vimalaprabha commentary, together with the Laghutantra form the basis of the Kalachakra practice as it is currently known and practiced in Tibetan Buddhism, as part of the Vajrayana practices.

The above are some of what the Vimalaprabha 《无垢光明论》is about.

Choosing a good guru is important and One that truly knows Buddhadharma and its applications.
