I think I do not understand the wording. Is this perhaps referring to his definition of emptiness of 'emptiness'? That emptiness by itself is not a universal, or independent truth/essence/existence?

Nagarjuna, belonging to the Madhyamika school of thought, argued for emptiness (even of emptiness). In doing so, he contradicted the brahmanical schools of thought, which believed in the existence of atman and brahman, and a 'permanence'. Nagarjuna on the contrary, being a mahayana buddhist, believed in 'impermanence'. This impermanence extended to that of 'being' as well, with all existence being 'momentary', and a superimposition of our cognition, of sorts.
