Source: De Gruyter: A Buddhist Ritual Manual on AgricultureAnusmartavyā (अनुस्मर्तव्या) refers to “calling to mind (a particular task)” (as part of an offering manual), 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, [as the Bhagavān said to the great Nāga kings]: “Now I will teach the auspicious offering manual which can bring about any effect. [...] Where there is a task, it should be called to mind (anusmartavyā) everywhere only once and it succeeds. [...]”.
