Paritāpitā (परितापिता) refers to “being heated (by the hotness of the Sun)”, 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, [after the Bhagavān taught the great heart-dhāraṇī], “[...] If it is otherwise and you neglect the Tathāgata’s authorization and his dignity of speech, then all Nāga residences are ignited and burnt. [...] Running around with burnt radiance, heated by the hotness of the Sun (sūryātapa-paritāpitā), let them be burnt with their bodies heated. They will be seized by various diseases, misfortune and trouble. [...]”.
