Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāAmohasvabhāva (अमोहस्वभाव) refers to the “essence of non-bewilderment”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, as the Bodhisattva Gaganagañja said to the Brahmā Prabhāvyūha: “[...] (3) Bewilderment is a word for non-bewilderment. Why? Because bewilderment is the essence of non-bewilderment (amohasvabhāva). Thus everything is the essence of bewilderment. (4) Aggregation of perishable things is a word for no aggregation of perishable things. Why? Because aggregation of perishable things is the essence of no aggregation of perishable things. Thus everything is the essence of aggregation of perishable things. [...]”.
