Abhyudgata (अभ्युद्गत) refers to “elevated”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “Then the Bodhisattva Gaganagañja, having praised the Lord with these verses, addressed himself to the Lord: ‘[...] The Lord, having played with the supernormal knowledges, is skilled in the knowledge of ascertainment of the base of magic. The Lord, having been endowed with the understanding of observation, throughly shows the mental behavior of all living beings as he places it upon the palm of his hand. Since the Lord has been elevated above (abhyudgata), nobody can look at the top of his head. The Lord, having been unsurpassed, became a hero in the whole system of threefold thousand great thousand worlds. [...]’”.
