Lakṣaṇalakṣya (लक्षणलक्ष्य) refers to “(distinction between a) characteristic and something to be characterized”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “Then, the Lord went on to speak these verses: ‘[...] (80) Insight purifies the root of hindrance; it is the mark of knowledge (parijñā) about the part of personality and realms (skandhadhātu); it is the liberation from its characteristics since there is no distinction between a characteristic and something to be characterized (lakṣaṇalakṣya). By attaining the insight, he is adorned in the three realms. [...]’”.
