Source: De Gruyter: A Buddhist Ritual Manual on AgricultureSarvadurukta (सर्वदुरुक्त) refers to “all types of harsh speech”, 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 great Nāga kings said to the Bhagavān]: “[...] We will ripen all flowers, fruits and crops, [to be] soft-bodied, pleasing, fragrant, perfect and to have pungent juices. We will eliminate all discord, agitation, famine, harsh speech [e.g., sarvadurukta] and bad omens. We will send down rain showers duly at the proper time. [...]”.
