Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāSatvaparipāka (सत्वपरिपाक) refers to “bringing living beings to maturity”, 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? [...] Even though he is established in the sameness of extinction, he still does not interrupt bringing living beings to maturity (satvaparipāka). This, son of good family, is the gate of knowledge called the development of two approaches, [namely the great compassion and expedient means], of the Bodhisattvas. Even though the Bodhisattva is placed in the gate of knowledge after having obtained the sameness of extinction, he still performs the practice of a Bodhisattva. [...]”.
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.
