Source: De Gruyter: A Buddhist Ritual Manual on AgricultureNamaskṛtya (नमस्कृत्य) refers to “having venerated (all the Tathāgatas)”, 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 (namaskṛtya) all the Tathāgatas and recollected this Blazing Garuḍa Thrust Heart Ruler [Mantra] called Great Garuḍa Speed Vajra”.
