Shaivism (Shaiva philosophy)

Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions

Vyatikrānta (व्यतिक्रान्त) refers to the “passing (of a year)”, according to the 9th-century Sarvajñānottaratantra chapter 18.—Accordingly, “Next, I shall teach the best observance among observances, which is known as the Śiva-vrata and which is revered by Asuras and Gods alike. [...] He should dwell constantly in a temple of Śiva, eating alms, controlling his senses, devoted to recitation and meditation, maintaining silence, venerating Śiva, the fire and his guru. When a year has passed (vyatikrānta), he will become equal to Śiva. [...]”.
