Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāAvedayitṛ (अवेदयितृ) refers to “(that which is) without subject feelings” (i.e., the sky), according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “When this had been said, the Lord said to the Bodhisattva, the great being Gaganagañja: ‘[...] Just as there is no subject feeling (avedayitṛ) in the sky, thus, [the Bodhisattva] gives a gift being free from all subject feelings. Just as there is no concept in the sky, in the same way, [the Bodhisattva] gives a gift being free from knots of all concepts. [...]’”.
