Since these suchnesses are already non-existent, how could one say that the suchness of the knowledge of all itself is the great Bodhisattva, the suchness of the knowledge of paths and knowledge of all aspects themselves are the great Bodhisattva; what is other than the suchness of the knowledge of all is the great Bodhisattva; what is other than the suchness of the knowledge of paths and knowledge of all aspects is the great Bodhisattva; within the suchness of the knowledge of all there is a great Bodhisattva; within the suchness of the knowledge of paths and knowledge of all aspects there is a great Bodhisattva; within the great Bodhisattva there is the suchness of the knowledge of all; within the great Bodhisattva there is the suchness of the knowledge of paths and knowledge of all aspects; apart from the suchness of the knowledge of all there is a great Bodhisattva; apart from the suchness of the knowledge of paths and knowledge of all aspects there is a great Bodhisattva.
World-Honored One, since form… all dharmas and their suchness are unobtainable, one cannot claim that the suchness of form… all dharmas is the great Bodhisattva; or that what is other than the suchness of form… all dharmas is the great Bodhisattva; or that within the suchness of form… all dharmas there is a great Bodhisattva; or that within the great Bodhisattva there is the suchness of form… all dharmas; or that apart from the suchness of form… all dharmas there is a great Bodhisattva – this cannot be!
The Buddha said to Subhuti:
Excellent, excellent! Just so, just so, exactly as you have said! Subhuti, because form… all dharmas are unobtainable, the suchness of form… all dharmas is also unobtainable; because dharmas and their suchness are unobtainable, the great Bodhisattva is also unobtainable; because the great Bodhisattva is unobtainable, the practice of the Prajnaparamita is also unobtainable.
