Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāPrakṛtinirvṛta (प्रकृतिनिर्वृत) refers to the “(primal) extinguished state of living beings”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “Then on that occasion the Lord uttered these verses: [...] (107) Since all living beings are originally extinguished (prakṛtinirvṛta), they are never born. His patience shining like this is not carelessness about this teaching. (108) Seeing all parts of personality as an illusion, knowing all spheres as the sphere of the dharma, considering the six sense organs as an empty town, this is to transcend the Māra inherent in the parts of personality. [...]”.
Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many sūtras of which some of the earliest are the various Prajñāpāramitā sūtras.
