: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāGandhavat (गन्धवत�) (Tibetan spos can) refers to one of the four Protector-Deities, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “[...] At that time, four gods, Saṃcayavigata, Sukhasaṃcaya, Gandhavat, and Prāsādavat, who guarded the Bodhisattvas, said to the Wicked Māra: ‘In the past, at the place of awakening, the Lord met you, your forces, troops, army and servants directly. At that time, the Lord touched the ground with the jewels in his hand, which are the accumulation of friendliness, compassion, generosity, discipline, restrain, gentleness, morality, learning, concentration, insight, firmness, burning effort, merit, and knowledge, and then the endless, limitless worlds were shaken. In that way it was manifested that you and your forces were defeated, but will you still do the works of māra under the Lord and the Bodhisattvas? You should pay homage to the Tathāgata and the assembly of the Bodhisattvas!’�.
