In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita SastraŚrīvṛddhi (श्रीवृद्धि) is the name of a hero whose story is mentioned in the Jātakamālā and Kalpanāmaṇḍikā, and the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra chapter 39. The hero of the story was called Fou-tseng or Che-li-li-t’i (restored by P. Pelliot as Śrīvṛddhi). After having been refused by Śāriputra and some other disciples, he was finally admitted into the Order by the Buddha himself, the only one who found a minute seed of deliverance in him: in the past, when he had been attacked by a tiger, he had uttered the cry: Namo buddhāya.
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.
