In other words, the ''tathāgatagarbha'' is taken to be the ''dharmadhātugarbha''. Though the term ''dharmadhātugarbha'' appears in the RGVV, Kamalaśīla's interpretation seems to have been derived from a phrase in the ''Laṅkāvatārasūtra'', “the embryo of the ''tathāgata'', which is selflessness” (''tathāgatanairātmyagarbha''), reinforcing the notion that Buddha-nature does not refer to ''ātman'' but rather to selflessness (''nairātmya'')."

However, unlike Dölpopa, he never explicitly says in his commentary that sentient beings have a fully enlightened buddha within."

This means that only such bodhisattvas possess the actual tathāgata heart in that they see at least certain degrees of purification of the stains that cover the tathāgata heart as well as its inseparability from certain degrees of buddha qualities. Ordinary beings thus do not possess this actual tathāgata heart at all, while buddhas possess it in its completeness. In other words, the close connection between seeing the tathāgata heart free from adventitious stains and possessing it, as well as between becoming free from adventitious stains and “attaining” the qualities of a buddha, is a prominent feature of Śākya Chogden’s interpretation of tathāgatagarbha."
