Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāAnāsravajñāna (अनास्रवज्ञान) refers to “uncontaminated knowledge”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly: “[...] After that, by those magically conjured-up beings, during seven days, the women were brought to maturity, in the way that they attained the stage of not falling back from the supreme and perfect awakening. Then the five hundred widows, having come to the Bodhisatva Gaganagañja, uttered these verses: ‘[...] (120) Since all these dharmas are magically created, they are already empty, without movement or activity. By fully understanding the uncontaminated knowledge (anāsravajñāna), from this time forth, we will never get into the power of vices’ [...]”.
