Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāDharmavinaya (धर्मविनय) refers to the “discipline of the dharma”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “Māra said: ‘O good man, from now on I will never do the works of Māra’. Gaganagañja said: ‘As it is difficult to keep your promise among such wicked beings, you should come down here and listen the discipline of the dharma (dharmavinaya) taught by the Tathāgata, together with your servants’ The wicked Māra and his servants unwillingly went down from the vault of the sky. Then the Bodhisattva Gaganagañja said this to the congregation of Bodhisattvas: ‘Sons of good family, may all of you elucidate the gates into the dharma of transcending the path of the works of Māra’”.
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.
