Sarvaśruta (सर्वश्रुत) refers to “all learning”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “Son of good family, these are eight pure vigours of bodhisatvas. What are the eight? To wit, [...] (5) vigour to attain all dharmas that are wings of awakening although the awakening is not perceived since it is distinguished as the essential character; (6) vigour to purify Buddha-fields although the fields are not perceived since they are distinguished as open space; (7) vigour to retain all learning (sarvaśruta-dhāraṇa) while regarding the sound (śabda) as an echo (pratiśrutkā); (8) vigour to accomplish all qualities of the Buddha although they are not the objective support since they are distinguished as the homogeneity of absolute reality by nature. Son of good family, those eight are the pure vigours of the Bodhisattvas”.
