Source: De Gruyter: A Buddhist Ritual Manual on AgricultureMahaujaska (महौजस्क) refers to “(having) great vital fluid”, 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, [as the Bhagavān teaches the offering of the root spell], “[...] After [the (pomegranate) branch] has been circled wrathfully 108 times, all neighbouring clouds and Nāgas with their retinues fall onto the ground. All Nāga residences along with their waters, trees and forest trees are transformed into a single flame. All great Nāga kings of great vital fluid (mahaujaska) and great supernatural power are seized by great headaches. [...]”.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
