5.52

[Tathāgata] In the language of Qin, it means "thus gone." The syllable tha door in the Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra is because the place of all dharmas is ungraspable. The Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa says: "One immediately knows that the four propositions of 'thus gone' are ungraspable." In the Avataṃsaka Sūtra, when chanting the syllable tha (pronounced with the fanqie tha-ke), it is named "repository of the equality of true thusness." The Commentary says: "That is the nature of blocking off spatial locations."
