Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāYuddhajaya (युद्धजय) is the name of a Bodhisatva, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “Thus have I heard once. The Lord was staying in the place of the Tathāgata, the courtyard adorned with jewels, [...] With him there was also a great congregation of Bodhisattvas. [...] They were the Bodhisatva Yuddhajaya, [...] and so on, in company with immeasurable, innumerable, incalculable, inconceivable, unequalled, incomparable, infinite, ineffable Bodhisatvas, the great beings”.
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.
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Tibetan Buddhist Teachers, Deities and other Spiritual beingsYuddhajaya (युद्धजय) refers to one of the “Thirty-Five Confession Buddhas” (Tibetan: ltung bshags kyi sangs rgyas so lnga) according to various sources in Mahayana and Tibetan Buddhism such as the Triskandhadharma-Sutra and the Ratnakuta-Sutra.—These texts describe the practice of purification by confession and making prostrations to these Buddhas [e.g., Yuddhajaya] while incorporating visualization techniques using a variety of iconographic depictions. The purpose of such practice is to purify negative karma.
Yuddhajaya is also known in Tibetan as: yül lé nampar gyelwa [gyul las rnam par rgyal ba]
Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (vajrayāna) are collected indepently.
