Source: De Gruyter: A Buddhist Ritual Manual on AgricultureKulonmāda (कुलोन्माद) refers to “family insanity”, according to the Vajratuṇḍasamayakalparāja, an ancient Buddhist ritual manual on agriculture from the 5th-century (or earlier), containing various instructions for the Sangha to provide agriculture-related services to laypeople including rain-making, weather control and crop protection.—Accordingly, [as the Bhagavān teaches the offering of the root spell], “[...] After [the (pomegranate) branch] has been circled wrathfully 108 times, all neighbouring clouds and Nāgas with their retinues fall onto the ground. [...] If the spell-master recites the mantras swiftly, there will be family insanity (kulonmāda) for all of them. They will perish along with their sons and grandsons, assemblies and vehicles. They will be destroyed. [...]”.
Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings).
