In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāParibhoga (परिभोग) refers to the “enjoyment” (of the Bodhisatvas in the pavilion of the Mahāvyūha), according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly as The Lord said to Śāriputra asked: “When the Tathāgata taught the dharma to those Bodhisattvas on the lion’s throne (siṃhāsana), he was elevated into the vault of the sky as high as eighty koṭis of palm-trees, and so did the Bodhisattvas in the Mahāvhūya pavilion. When the Bodhisattvas rose into the vault of the sky, they listened to the Tathāgata’s preaching. Then the Tathāgata taught the dharma-seal named Gaganapariśuddhi. It is impossible, Śāriputra, to enumerate the enjoyment (paribhoga) of the Bodhisatvas in the pavilion of the Mahāvyūha for their entire lifespan. Do you see, Śāriputra, this lion’s throne?”.
Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many sūtras of which some of the earliest are the various Prajñāpāramitā sūtras.
In Jainism

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.

[Sanskrit to German]
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.

Prakrit is an ancient language closely associated with both Pali and Sanskrit. Jain literature is often composed in this language or sub-dialects, such as the Agamas and their commentaries which are written in Ardhamagadhi and Maharashtri Prakrit. The earliest extant texts can be dated to as early as the 4th century BCE although core portions might be older.
