Paribhoga (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?”.
