Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāSvabhāvajñāna (स्वभावज्ञान) refers to “understanding the essence” (of all dharmas), according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “[...] Again, since he understands the essence of all dharmas (sarvadharma-svabhāvajñāna), the recollection of the great insight is the arising of any viewpoint beyond any mental effort. Since in this way recollection is pure, the knowledge of the application of awareness is called the recollection of the Buddha which is taught by the Lord”.
