In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Agarhita (अगर्हित, “blameless”) or Agarhitaśīla refers to the “morality without defects”, according to the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra chapter 36.—Accordingly, “moreover, the physical wrongdoings (kāyikāpatti) are called ‘defects’ (garhita) and the vocal wrongdoings are called ‘rifts’. Finally, the great sins are called ‘defects’ (defeats?) and the small wrongdoings are called ‘cracks’”.
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.
