[Answer].—No. Absence of nature is limitless (ananta), inexpressible (Բ󾱱ⲹ) and unquestionable. Why do you say it is limited? If one grasps characteristics in the absence of characteristics, this would no longer be an absence of characteristics. By absence of nature we mean the ungraspable emptiness (Գܱ貹-śūԲⲹ). Here, absence of nature is ungraspable and emptiness itself is ungraspable. This is why absence of characteristics is called ungraspable emptiness. [...]�.

Upalambha (उपलम्भ).�(compare Sanskrit id.; not recorded in Pali; compare prec., an-upa°, an-upalabdhi, the next items, and aupalambhika), according to standard interpretation, mental perception or apperception, realization by the intellect; Asaṅga (Mahāyāna-sūtrālaṃkāra) xviii.92 commentary buddhyā pratipatti�; Tibetan dmigs (-pa) thought, fancy, imagination; to construe in one's mind, etc.; see also La Vallée-Poussin, 󾱻󲹰ś Index s.v. upalabdhi.Were it not for this persistent tradition, some occurrences, especially of the neg. forms (an-upalambha, °labdhi), could easily be interpreted as related to upa- labhyate (1) and meaning (non-)occurrence, (non-)existence. These mgs. are attributed by Critical Pali Dictionary to an-upaladdhi, °labbhana; and tho not recognized in [Pali Text Society’s Pali-English Dictionary], occurrence, existence seems to me the probable meaning of upaladdhi in the two passages cited for it, Miln. 268.7 and Vimānavatthu (Pali) commentary 279.10. In many [Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit] places inconceivability or non- occurrence, non-reality would make equally good sense for an-upa°. I do not, however, venture to abandon what [Page140-b+ 71] seems to have been the standard tradition. Reliance on upalambha, mental perception, fancy, is an error, stigmatized as upalambha-dṛṣṭi, the heresy that relies on upalambha, Lalitavistara 35.6 (or as [ܱī], one who adheres to that heresy, 󲹰ṇḍī첹 383.12); see also °dṛṣṭika. Similarly upalambha-saṃjñin Śṣāsܳⲹ 315.1, having the (false) notion of upalambha; upalam- bha-yogena, by the (erroneous) method of upalambha, Śatasāhasrikā-ñpāramitā 1042.16, repeated formulaically (compare anupalambha-yogena s.v. anupalambha).
