Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā

Uttānī (उत्तानी) [=Uttāna?] or Uttānīkaraṇa refers to “making things clear”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “Further, the so-called ‘insight (prajñā)’ is a word for calm because it is free from the flame of false discrimination; [...] a word for the sky because it is perfectly pure; a word for the expanse of the sky because it is free from obstructions; a word for making things clear (uttānīkaraṇa-pada) in every direction because it abides in abiding; a word for no concepts because it is without a proper nature; [...]”.
