Vagrakkhedikâ (Diamond-cutter), section 29

And again, O Subhūti, if anybody were to say that the Tathāgata goes, or comes, or stands, or sits, or lies down, he, O Subhūti, does not understand the meaning of my preaching. And why? Because the word Tathāgata means one who does not go to anywhere, and does not come from anywhere; and therefore he is called the Tathāgata (truly come), holy and fully enlightened. (29)
