Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāRatnaparityāga (रत्नपरित्याग) is the name of a Bodhisattva, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “Then the Bodhisattva Gaganagañja said this to the congregation of Bodhisattvas: ‘Sons of good family, may all of you elucidate the gates into the dharma of transcending the path of the works of Māra’ [...] The Bodhisattva Ratnaparityāga said: ‘The works of Māra are produced from obsession with self. When you are established in the purity of self, what can the Māra do? Why is that? Because vices are purified by the purity of self, and all dharmas are purified by the purity of vices. That which purifies all dharmas purifies open space. Thus the Bodhisattva who is established in the purity of open space transcends the sphere of the Māra’”.
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.
