Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāSukṛtakarma (सुकृतकर्म) refers to “that which fulfills its function”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “The great vehicle (mahāyāna) is made with four wheels (cakra), namely with the means of attraction, the spokes (ara) are well fitted as the roots of good have been transformed with intention (āśaya), [...] it goes to all buddha-fields (sarvabuddhakṣetra) by four magical feet (ṛddhipāda), the horns (śṛṅga) of recollection are bound with the string of a jewel necklace (ratnamālā), it roams widely and broadly since it contains all living beings, it fulfills its function (sukṛtakarma) as it subdues enemies (pratyarthika) and the Māras (māra-pratyarthika), [...]”.
Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings).
