Vairocana is considered the representation of the universal Buddha Shakyamuni, a living personification of all the historical Buddhas throughout time. While he is often shown in dharmachakramudra, symbolizing his close identification with the teaching Buddha, the present example is more unusual in that he holds a flaming chakra, conveying the same idea.
