Then, by the magical presence of the Bodhisattva Gaganagañja, these verses resonated in open space: ‘[...] (136) Due to the absence of distinguishing marks and form, the open space cannot be seen. When you understand the nature of thoughts in this way, it will be like the open space. (137) The open space is only a name, without color and form way, thought, mind, and consciousness are illustrated (paridīpita) by name. [...]’”.
