Source: De Gruyter: A Buddhist Ritual Manual on AgricultureRakṣitavyā (रक्षितव्या) refers to “that which should be protected”, 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], “[...] The hostile Nāgas, fierce and bad, will thus experience suffering in the last time, in the last age if they neglect this dhāraṇī called Tathāgata Garuḍa Flame Heart. Therefore, O Serpent chiefs, you should abide by a true promise and by guarding the vow of the Tathāgatas. All beings of Jambudvīpa should be fostered, protected (rakṣitavyā) and caused to succeed”.
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.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
