Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāSarvaviṣaya (सर्वविषय) refers to “all objects of sense”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly: “[...] The Bodhisattva Dharmarāja and the whole congregation, having joined the palms of their hands, paid homage to open space, and sat down. Then, by the magical presence of the Bodhisattva Gaganagañja, these verses resonated in open space: ‘[...] (142) Just as the open space cannot be filled up with even all beings, so the series of thoughts also cannot be filled up with all objects of sense (sarvaviṣaya). (143) The great words with the lion’s roar, the words given by the protector of the world, and the supermundane insight, you should find satisfaction in these teachings. [...]’”.
