c8.s10.10

The bodhisattva at this stage can be said to possess inconceivable, incomparable, immeasurable knowledge, and his actions are always faultless. He now possesses the praṇidhānas, adhiṣṭhānas, pāramitās, mahāmaitrī, mahā-karuṇā, dhāraṇī, pratibhāna, etc., in short, all dharmas which make a Buddha. Hence, this bhūmi is called Acalā and there is no possibility of his going back from this bhūmi (avivartyabhūmi). He is now a member of the Buddha family, and may be said to possess the Buddha gotra. He is henceforth constantly attended by all the gods and Vajrapāṇi.¹
