Sarvadharmasamatā (सर्वधर्मसमता) refers to the “equality of all dharmas”, according to the Nāmamantrārthāvalokinī by Vilāsavajra, which is a commentary on the Nāmasaṃgīti.—Accordingly, [while commenting on verse 100ab]—“{Ādi-buddha}: [the word] ādibuddha means [he who is] ‘awakened from the very beginning’, and that one has the five gnoses as his nature. [...] So that one, who has the five gnoses as his natureand [also] the five colours as his nature , is the lord. And he should be understood to be Mañjuśrī, since as the equality of all dharmas [i.e., sarvadharmasamatā] he is the unique ground [of all phenonena]. For that very reason he is [described as] free from [causal] connection”.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
