What are those eight? To wit, [...] (7) no burning [passions] for the sake of the purification of afflictions; (8) fulfilling aspirations (praṇidhāna-paripūraṇa) in order to purify awakening’. Son of good family, these eight purify the morality of the Bodhisattvas”.

2) Paripūraṇā (परिपूरणा) refers to “completion (of the immeasurable ornaments)”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā.—Accordingly, “Through these ten immeasurables (apramāṇa), son of good family, the Bodhisattva completes the accumulations of merit (puṇya-saṃbhāra). What are these ten? (1) completion (paripūraṇā) of the immeasurable ornaments for the body by fulfilling the characteristics of a great man and the marks of beauty; (2) completion of the immeasurable ornaments of speech by purifying his realm of speech so it is in accordance with all beings; (3) completion of the immeasurable ornaments for thought in accordance with the thought of all beings; [...]”.

Paripūraṇa (परिपूरण) refers to the “fulfilment (of all wishes)”, 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 Garuḍa-king said to the Bhagavān]: “O Bhagavān, I am going to teach the dhāraṇī called Vajra Beak Blazing Thunderbolt (jvālavidyut) which burns the heart of all Nāgas, wards off all untimely winds, clouds and thunderbolts, ripens all flowers and fruits and is able to increase all earth-sap. Therefore let the Bhagavān give his empowerment for the benefit of all beings and the fulfilment of all wishes (āśā-paripūraṇa)”

Paripūraṇa (परिपूरण) or Paripūraṇatārā (in Tibetan: yongs rdzogs byed pa'i sgrol ma) refers to the “Tārā who is the perfector” and represents one of the twenty-one emanations of Tārā according to the Kashmiri Mahasiddha Suryagupta Tradition.—Suryagupta or Ravigupta (Tibetan: nyi ma be pa) was a layperson from Kashmir that was cured of leprosy by a miraculous statue of the goddess Tara. Suryagupta is famous for having many visions of Tara and originating many lineages of her practice such as the Twenty-one forms of Tara [e.g., Paripūraṇa-tārā]. There exists inscriptions and paintings (from the 14th century) of these Twenty-one Taras and they are also described in ritual and meditation texts in both Sanskrit and Tibetan language.
