Aticāra (अतिचार) refers to “acceleration”, as described, for example in the Siddhānta-darpaṇa 3.29, “If in a saura-varṣa, guru in its sphuṭa motion goes to next rāśi at higher speed (aticāra), and does not return to the same rāśi, that year is called mahācāra-kāla. This year is as bad and inauspicious as a lupta-saṃvatsara”.

Another example of aticāra (“crossing”) is given in the Harivaṃśa Purāṇa 2.23.26, “The planet Mercury with his horrible lustre is rising from the western direction. (Such a symptom makes one lose his crown) Venus on the other hand is moving on the solar path rapidly, (crossing the sun is called aticāra)”.

In Jainism

General definition (in Jainism)

Source: archive.org: Jaina Yoga

Aticāra (अतिचार, “infraction”).—The Upāsaka-daśāḥ supplied the frame-work of the vratas, each with its five typical aticāras or infractions, and the pratimās. Though the notion that these aticāras were intended only as examples (e.g., Abhayadeva’s commentary on the Upāsaka-daśāḥ 1.55) is familiar to the older Śvetāmbara ācāryas, they soon became, in practice, the basis of a complete moral code. As the vratas and their aticāras represent the nucleus of the whole lay doctrine any variation in their presentation must be of considerable significance.

Where aticāras of a vrata are given (for some Digambaras do not note any) they are always, except in a few cases in the Yaśastilaka, five in number. Five is also the number of the aṇu-vratas themselves (except where arātri-bhojana is recognized as a vrata). Haribhadra, in his Śrāvaka-dharma-pañcāśaka, explains that they are five, and not four like the mahā-vratas in the times of the twenty-two earlier tīrthaṅkaras, because Śailaka-rājā accepted the śrāvaka-dharma in the guise offive aṇu-vratas and seven other vratas in the presence of Sthāpatya-putra, the pupil of Neminātha.

Aticāra (अतिचार, “transgression”).—Under ahiṃsāṇuvrata, the aticāras or the “don’ts” of the vrata give in detail the acts to be avoided in our attitude and treatment towards animals. For instance, bandhana, one of the transgressions, is keeping anything under captivity without any consideration for its freedom to exist or live. This includes rearing animals without adequate shelter, air, light, space and food.

Source: Encyclopedia of Jainism: Tattvartha Sutra 7: The Five Vows

Aticāra (अतिचार, “transgression”) refers to one of the four “subsidiary dispositions which cause non observance of the vows” according to the 2nd-century Tattvārthasūtra 7.23. What is meant by transgression (aticāra)? It means to show laziness /laxity in observing or performing the essential duties or the vows of the householders. What is meant by transgression? To indulge in the sensual pleasures even once is transgression.

context information

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
