Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāPrakampya (प्रकम्प्य) refers to the “disturbed” (as opposed to Aprakampya—‘undisturbed’), according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, as Gaganagañja said to Ratnapāṇi: “Son of good family, the thirty-two dharmas are included in sixty-four dharmas. What are those sixty-four? [...] (17) the unbreakable vow is included in seeing the thought of awakening and relying on the place of awakening; (18) perseverance to keep vows is included in being aware of the works of Māra and the magical presence of the Buddha; (19) being established in awareness is included in the mind without modification and the absence of mental agitation; (20) unwavering mind is included in being the same as a mountain and the undisturbed (aprakampya); [...]’”.
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.

[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.
