In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the Gaganagañjaparipá¹›cchij§²¹á¹ƒb³Ü»å»å³ó²¹ (संबà¥à¤¦à¥à¤�) refers to â€�(perfectly) awakenedâ€�, according to the Gaganagañjaparipá¹›cchÄ: the eighth chapter of the MahÄsaṃnipÄta (a collection of MahÄyÄna Buddhist SÅ«tras).—Accordingly, “What then, son of good family, is the recollection of the dharma (»å³ó²¹°ù³¾Äå²Ô³Ü²õ³¾á¹›t¾±), which is authorized by the Lord for the sake of the Bodhisattvas? [...] The Bodhisattva, knowing that all dharmas are not originated because of their intrinsic nature, attains the tolerance that all things are unborn. This state of being is the true dharma. [...] He who understands thus understands all dharmas, since it is the way in which the people on the path of training or on the path beyond training, the isolated Buddhas (Pratyekabuddha), the Bodhisattvas, and the perfectly awakened one (²õ²¹³¾²â²¹Ã±³¦-²õ²¹á¹ƒb³Ü»å»å³ó²¹) understand all dharmas. Such concentration is the liberation of all the holy, and in that there is no involvement with any dharma. The absence of involvement with any dharma is the recollection of the dharma, which is authorized by the Lordâ€�.

Mahayana (महायान, mahÄyÄna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings).

[...] In contrast to the paucity of its occurrences in Yoga texts, ²â´Ç²µ²¹²Ô¾±»å°ùÄå is well attested in epic, Tantric and Pauranic literature that predates the Amanaska. [...] Examples can be found in Åšaiva and Buddhist Tantras, (e.g., MahÄmÄyÄtantra 2.19a-b): “The perfect Buddhas who have entered into YoganidrÄ realize (²õ²¹á¹ƒb³Ü»å»å³ó²¹) [that secret knowledge.]â€�.

He should meditate on the bindus in the ten prongs in sequence. By smoke and others, he should make move the 100 [bindus] in the seats of Bindus. From that, however subtle the thing might be, it is not a [discriminated] object of sense for the Awakened Ones. He [becomes] completely awakened (sambuddha), [which is] the ³¾²¹³óÄå³¾³Ü»å°ùÄå or Great Seal, through the meditation on the adamantine vital airs [...]â€�.
