Tharathara (थरथर) refers to the “trembling (of the body)”, 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 [after the Bhagavān taught the heart-dhāraṇī-mantrapadas], “Immediately after this Nāga-heart-dhāraṇī-mantrapada had been uttered by the Bhagavān, then all Nāgas trembled (tharathara—tharatharāyamānā), their bodies became weak, putrid and foul-smelling, and they were burning like a fire-flame. Being burnt they called the Bhagavān for help in a loud voice, and addressed him, ‘O Bhagavān, extremely dreadful mantrapadas have been uttered. [...]’”.
