Visuddhimagga XXI-124

Svāyaṃ suññaṃ animittaṃ appaṇihitañca nibbānaṃ ārammaṇaṃ karotītipi suññato animitto appaṇihitoti vuccati. Idamassa ārammaṇato nāmaṃ.

（四）这（道）是以空无相无愿的涅盘为所缘，故亦说为空、无相、无愿。这是以（此道的）所缘为名。

Ñ(XXI,124): 4. It is called void, signless, and desireless, too, because it makes the void, signless, desireless nibbana its object. This is its name according to its object. [669]
