Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāTathāgataviṣaya (तथागतविषय) refers to the “realm of the Tathāgata”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “[...] Entering into the field of the Buddha by the purity of his own field is the following: all dharmas appearing in his six sense organs, all those he enters as being transcendent as realm of the Buddha. Just as the realm of the Tathāgata (tathāgataviṣaya) is unattached and unobstructed, so there is no attachment or obstruction in all realms. In this way, son of good family, the Bodhisattva, entering into the realm of the Buddha, purifies his own realm. [...]”.
