Siñcitavya (सिञ्चितव्य) [?] refers to “that which should be sprinkled” (as part of an offering ritual), 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 Bhagavān teaches an offering manual]: “The great sealing of the boundary is present until the stake is drawn out. All crops, all flowers and fruits will be well protected. [...] Even if perished they gain vital power again. They reach vigour, growth and power again. The [contents of the] bowl should be sprinkled (siñcitavya) all around in the four directions in the fields and gardens. [...]”.
