Getting every requisite thing ready, he fed the gods including Viṣṇu and others with various pleasant things. He fed all the others who had attended (svavivāha-samāgata) His marriage with juicy cooked food of various sorts. [...]”.

Many Deva multitudes assembled (samāgata) with a great assembly, multitudes of Bodhisattvas assembled (samāgata); Śakra, the Lord of the Devas, Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Maheśvara, Nāga Lords of great supernatural power, they all assembled (samāgata).

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.

Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)

Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): (Tibetan Buddhism)

Samāgata (समागत) refers to “having entered” (into Yoganidrā), according to the Ciñcinīmatasārasamuccaya.—In the Amanaska, the term yoganidrā is a synonym for the no-mind state. [...] In contrast to the paucity of its occurrences in Yoga texts, yoganidrā is well attested in epic, Tantric and Pauranic literature that predates the Amanaska. [...] Examples can be found in Śaiva and Buddhist Tantras, (e.g., Mahāmāyātantra 2.19a-b): “The perfect Buddhas who have entered (samāgata) into Yoganidrā [yoganidrāsamāgatāḥ] realize [that secret knowledge.]”.

context information

Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (vajrayāna) are collected indepently.
