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.
