Abhinirhṛta (अभिनिर्हृत) refers to “(one who has) realized (through skillful means)”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “[...] However the Bodhisattva, having overcome sixty-two doctrinal viewpoints derived from the root view that there is a permanent substance, produces the supernormal knowledge in the absence of any attachment of view; [...] he is established in compassion; he has realized through skillful means (upāya-abhinirhṛta); he produces the supernormal knowledge because he is endowed with such a dharma; he, having been elevated into the place of awakening by the supernormal knowledges, attains the mastery of all dharmas by the supernormal knowledges; [...]”.
