Kleśasaṃtāpa (क्लेशसंताप) refers to the “burning pains of vices”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “What then, the son of good family, is memory (dhāraṇī)? [...] This is called memory. When his body, speech, and mind are included in a state which is like the earth (dharaṇi), such are imperishable, the rain of the dharma falls, pacifies the burning pains of vices (kleśasaṃtāpa), and makes all qualities of the Buddha grow. This is way of entering the way of memory. He who has attained memory (dhāraṇī) knows the practice that is never forgetting any dharma of the Buddha. In this way, son of good family, the Bodhisattva who has attained memory practices not forgetting”.
