There are some scholars, however, who understand gatha in the sense of being in or situated in.

If this be correct, Tathagata meaning, being thus or being such, can be interpreted in the same sense as Tathata or Buddha Tathata or Tathwa, as explained below.

But in this case, Tathagata will lose its personification and become a metaphysical term like the others, though it has been so persistently used by Buddhists in connection with the historical Buddha, that it always awakens in their minds something more concrete and personal than a mere ontological abstraction buddhism is the most speculative of all the existing religions in the world and abounds with many highly abstract terms which may sound empty to ordinary minds Among them, we have such words as tatata, or tatatwa, tatwa, butatatata, butakote, kanyata, alakshetam, nirvana, etc.

Suchness, being an abstract term, may breed some misconception when the term is used alone on the part of the uninitiated.

to avoid this reality has been prefixed which purposes to make it clear that the ultimate reason is not an abstraction not a mere subjective creation but a real objective or rather transcendental existence butacote serves the same end as it means the highest point of reality or the real end of things Alakshitam, Konyata, and Nirvananam express the negative phase of the Dharmakaya.
