Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāDṛḍhābhedya (दृढाभेद्य) refers to “(one whose resolve is) firm and unbreakable”, 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 with a resolve firm and unbreakable (dṛḍhābhedya-āśaya) like the diamond (vajra) become well established (susthita) and unwavering (aniñjya) in this great way? Son of good family, when the Bodhisattva is unbreakable (abhedya) having made a resolve as firm as a diamond with the twelve qualities, he is not disturbed by the world with its gods. What are those twelve? [...] When the qualities of Bodhisattva are unbreakable in that way, son of good family, he is unbreakable having made a resolve as firm as a diamond (dṛḍhavajra-āśaya). [...]”.
