ٳ󾱰śūԲⲹ (अध्यात्मबहिर्धाशून्यता) or simply Adhyātmabahirdhā refers to the “emptiness of internal and external dharmas�, representing one of the sixteen or eighteen emptinesses (śūԲⲹ), according to the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra chapter XLVIII. Accordingly, “what is the emptiness of internal and external dharmas (ٳ󾱰śūԲⲹ)? The six inner bases and the six outer bases of consciousness are called internal and external dharmas. And yet the internal dharmas are empty of external dharmas because they are neither eternal nor transitory. Why? Because such is their essence. The external dharmas are empty of internal dharmas. Why? Because such is their essence. That is called: emptiness of internal and external dharmas (ٳ󾱰-śūԲⲹ)�.

Inner and outer emptiness (ٳ󾱰śūԲⲹ).—Inner and outer dharmas (ٳ󾱰󲹰) are empty of inner and outer dharmas (ٳ󾱰󲹰). Inner and outer dharmas are the twelve internal and external bases of consciousness (屹岹śⲹٲԲ). In these twelve bases, there is no ‘me� or ‘mine� and there is no ‘inner and outer dharma�.
