Source: De Gruyter: A Buddhist Ritual Manual on AgriculturePuṣpasamudbhūta (पुष्पसमुद्भूत) refers to “that which arises from flowers”, 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 an offering manual]: “[...] All crops, all flowers and fruits will be well protected. [...] Until the stake is driven out all kinds of pests, produced from moist heat, self-produced and egg-born, arisen from rocks or flowers (puṣpasamudbhūta—śilāpuṣpasamudbhūtāḥ), do not prevail. Harm of various sorts caused by Nāgas will not be victorious again. [...]”.
