‘What do you think then, O Subhfti, has the highest perfect knowledge been known by the Tathagata through the possession of signs? You should not think so, O Subhati. And why? Because, O Subhiti, the highest perfect knowledge would not be known by the Tathagata through the possession of signs. Nor should anybody, O Subhhti, say to you that the destruction or annihilation of any thing is proclaimed by those who have entered on the path of the Bodhisattvas.’
