Praṇidhānaparipūraṇa (प्रणिधानपरिपूरण) refers to “fulfilling aspirations”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “Son of good family, the morality of the Bodhisattvas becomes purified by these eight qualities. What are those eight? To wit, [...] (7) no burning [passions] for the sake of the purification of afflictions; (8) fulfilling aspirations (praṇidhānaparipūraṇa) in order to purify awakening’. Son of good family, these eight purify the morality of the Bodhisattvas”.”.
