Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāVipraṇāśatā (विप्रणाशता) [=Vipraṇāśa?] refers to the “destruction” (as opposed to Avipraṇāśa—‘absence of destruction’), according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, as Gaganagañja said to Ratnapāṇi: “Son of good family, those sixty-four dharmas are included in one hundred twenty-eight dharmas. What are those one hundred twenty-four? [...] (62) desire is included in the absence of what belongs to the ego and property; (63) cause is included in the absence of destruction (avipraṇāśatā) and never turning back from its cause; (64) condition is included in the absence of any kind of deceptiveness and the attainment of the fruit according to their faith; [...]’”.
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.
