Source: De Gruyter: A Buddhist Ritual Manual on AgricultureNiṣpādanī (निष्पादनी) [?] refers to the “ripening” (of flowers and fruits, etc.), 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 Garuḍa-king said to the Bhagavān]: “O Bhagavān, I am going to teach the dhāraṇī called Vajra Beak Blazing Thunderbolt which burns the heart of all Nāgas, wards off all untimely winds, clouds and thunderbolts, ripens (niṣpādanī) all flowers and fruits and is able to increase all earth-sap. Therefore let the Bhagavān give his empowerment for the benefit of all beings and the fulfilment of all wishes”
