Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāSupratividdha (सुप्रतिविद्ध) refers to “(fully) understanding” [?], according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “[...] Then, the bodhisatva, the great being, Gaganagañja addressed himself to the Lord: [...] (21) [How do the Bodhisattvas] attain the mastery of all dharmas after not having regressed from supernatural knowledge? (22) [How do the Bodhisattvas] enter into the profound way of the dharma which is difficult to understand (supratividdha) for all the disciples and isolated Buddhas? [...]’”.
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.
