Note 59 — Chapter VI · THE TATHÂGATA-GARBHA AND THE ÂLAYA-VIJÑÂNA.
Reading edition
Tathâgata-Garbha literally means Tathâgata’s womb[59] or treasure or store, in which the essence of Tathâgatahood remains concealed under the veil of Ignorance. It may rightly be called the womb of universe, from which issues forth the multitudinousness of things, mental as well as physical.
