Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāPratiśrambhaṇa (प्रतिश्रम्भण) (Cf. Pratipraśrambhaṇa) refers to “allaying” [?], according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “How then, son of good family, does the Bodhisattva perform his practice of a Bodhisattva (bodhisattvacaryā) after having obtained the sameness of extinction? The extinction is the pacification of all vices, the allaying of every feeling (sarvavedanā-pratipraśrambhaṇa), the pacification of all objects, and no connection with the parts of personality, realms or fields of perception. Thus the good man, having obtained the sameness of extinction, playfully employs the great compassion, means and insight, and knowledge of the former lives. He is sustained by the presence of the Buddhas. He cultivates insight and knowledge. [...]”.
