Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāDhāraṇīpratilabdha (धारणीप्रतिलब्ध) refers to “one who has attained memory”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “How then, son of good family, does the Bodhisattva who has attained memory (dhāraṇīpratilabdha) never forget? Son of good family, the Bodhisattva attains memory (dhāraṇī) by purifying his memory. What then is the purification of memory? Son of good family, there are thirty-two purifications of memory. [...] When his body, speech, and mind are included in a state which is like the earth (dharaṇi), such are imperishable, the rain of the dharma falls, pacifies the burning pains of vices, and makes all qualities of the Buddha grow. This is way of entering the way of memory. He who has attained memory (dhāraṇī) knows the practice that is never forgetting any dharma of the Buddha. In this way, son of good family, the Bodhisattva who has attained memory practices not forgetting”
