Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāDharmapravega (धर्मप्रवेग) refers to the “impact of the dharma”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “[...] By the impact of the dharma (dharmapravega), the lord of the gods [i.e., devendra—Śakra] became full of happiness and all his dwelling places in the Trāyastriṃśa heaven were shaken. Then, together with many hundreds of thousands of attendant gods, he approached to the Lord, prostrated himself at the Lord’s feet, and said this to the Lord: ‘O Lord, I am Śakra, the lord of gods, who have the mastery of the gods in the Trāyastriṃśa heaven. Together with a multitude of attendant gods, I will strive to disseminate this exposition of the dharma throughout the Jambūdvīpa. [...]’”.
