In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (mahayana)ṛḍ貹ٲ (दृढापरिवर्�) refers to the ninth chapter of the ܱṇadzٳٲūٰ, which teaches the protection of the state for the mutual benefit of the Buddhist Sangha and the monarch.—As can be seen, chapters 7 and 8 contain ritual instructions primarily for securing health and wealth. These seem to be ancillary rites which accompany the ritual for the protection of the state taught in chapter 6. Interestingly, these rituals are actually more complex than those in the Caturmahārājaparivarta, where recitation is the main focus, potentially indicating a somewhat later date of composition. It is worth noting that chapters 9 and 10, the ṛḍ貹ٲ and Saṃjñāyaparivarta, also offer further support and protection but do not include detailed ritual instructions.

Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many ūٰ of which some of the earliest are the various Prajñāpāramitā ūٰ.
