17c. And why? “Tathagata”, Subhuti, is synonymous with true Suchness (tathata).

 17d. And whosoever, Subhuti, were to say, “The Tathagata has fully known the utmost, right and perfect enlightenment”, he would speak falsely. And why? [(There is not any Dharma by which the Tathagata has fully known the utmost, right and perfect enlightenment - And that dharma which the Tathagata has fully known and demonstrated, on account of that there is neither truth nor fraud)]. Therefore I the Tathagata teaches, “all dharmas are the Buddha’s own and special dharmas”. And why? “All dharmas”, Subhuti, have as no-dhannas been taught by the Tathagata. Therefore all dharmas are called the Buddha’s own and special dharmas.
