Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāPrajñātathatā (प्रज्ञातथता) refers to the “suchness of insight”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly: “[...] In that way, the Bodhisattva, having known that the feeling, perception, formative factors and consciousness are impermanent, having investigated the insight, etc., and having known the character of being beyond information, investigates the insight. Then he understands the suchness of insight (prajñātathatā) through the suchness of consciousness, the suchness of transforming through the suchness of insight, the suchness of awakening through the suchness of transforming, the suchness of living beings through the suchness of awakening, the suchness of the self through the suchness of living beings, the suchness of all dharmas through the suchness of the self. [...]”.
