Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāPariṇāmanatathatā (परिणामनतथता) refers to the “suchness of transforming”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly: “[...] Then he understands the suchness of transforming (pariṇāmanatathatā) through the suchness of giving, the suchness of awakening through the suchness of transforming, the suchness of living being through the suchness of awakening, the suchness of the self through the suchness of living being, and the suchness of all dharmas through the suchness of the self. This the suchness of all dharmas is the absence of suchness, is not different from suchness, and nothing else but suchness. Since he gives a gift by understanding suchness, son of good family, this giving is the supramundane path of Bodhisattva”.
