- It represents the Unity (of the Cosmos), the perfect Quiescence
- Of all Plurality, of the Individuals as well as their impersonal elements.[11]
Takasaki (1966) [12]
- Verily, the Absolute Body of the Tathāgata is pure
- Because of his innate purity and removal of Impressions;
- He is the highest Unity because he is quiescent,
- Having destroyed the dualistic view of Ego and non-Ego.
Holmes (1985) [13]
- This is purity because its nature is pure
- and all karmic impurities have been removed.
- It is true identity because all complications of 'self'
- or 'no-self' have been absolutely quelled.
Holmes (1999) [14]
- This is purity because its nature is pure
- and all impurities of karma have been removed.
- It is true identity because all complications of 'self'
- Or 'no-self' have been absolutely quelled.
Fuchs (2000) [15]
- The [dharmakaya] is purity, since its nature is pure
- and [even] the remaining imprints are fully removed.
- It is true self, since all conceptual elaboration
- in terms of self and non-self is totally stilled.
