In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (mahayana)ⲹṇa貹ṛc (नारायणपरिपृच्छ�) is the name of an ancient text dealing with Dhāraṇ� (rites for the protection of the state).—The setting of this scripture is Mount Svarṇaśṛṅga, the mansion of Vaiśravaṇa, where Nārāyaṇa requests help from the Buddha upon defeat by the Asuras, much like the Dhvajāgrakeyūraṇ�. The lord tells him that earlier, during the reign of King Ratnaśrī of Magadha, there lived Sarveśvara Tathāgata, from whom the Bhagavān learned the Mahāmāyāvijayavāhinī spell. For hundreds of thousands of years that king ruled righteously by the power of this ṇ�. In his next existence he was born as Māndhātā, a Bodhisattva and Cakravartin king, who practiced charity for sixty-four thousand kalpas and became a Buddha. [...]
Note: The ⲹṇa貹ṛc/Mahāmāyāvijayavāhinīṇ� was edited, along with the Tibetan translation by Bstan pa’i nyin byed, by Banerjee (1941) on the basis of a palm-leaf manuscript dated to 1361CE. No Chinese translation seems to be available.
