Source: De Gruyter: A Buddhist Ritual Manual on AgricultureGaruḍatejas (गरुडतेजस्) refers to the “blazing Garuḍa”, 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, [after the Bhagavān emitted rays] “Then Samantākāraparikaracchatra, the great Nāga king, falling at the feet of the Bhagavān, addressed him, ‘We are burnt, O Bhagavān, we are burnt, O Sugata’. Then the Bhagavān, having consented to him by remaining silent, looked up, looked all around in the ten directions, venerated all the Tathāgatas and recollected this Blazing Garuḍa (garuḍatejas) Thrust Heart Ruler [Mantra] called Great Garuḍa Speed Vajra”.
