Saṃsārabandhana (संसारबन्धन) refers to the “bonds of existence”, 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? [...] He purifies cultivation by means of the clear presence of manifestation. He depends on concentration which is the miraculous play with illusion. The vices by which he might produce existence and bonds of existence (saṃsārabandhana), these he does away with, and the knowledge by means of which he teaches extinction, in that he excels, thus he is born from non-existence and originated form non-origination. [...]”.
