Pariveṣṭayitavyā (परिवेष्टयितव्या) refers to “that which should be wound round entirely” (as part of an offering ceremony), 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 manual of the root-heart] “[...] Five arrows and a trident should be driven into the ground. Four arrows should be wound round entirely (pariveṣṭayitavyā) with five-coloured twine. Four filled jars, four ladles with frankincense and four jars of offering should be placed. One filled with white offerings should be placed in the middle of the maṇḍala. [...]”.
