In Buddhism

Ākṣipta (आक्षिप्त) refers to the “grasp” (of the activities of the fetters), according to the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra chapter 1.—Accordingly: [...] If the Bodhisattva were able to walk and talk as soon as he was born, people would say: “This man that we see is extraordinary, he must be a god, a nāga or a demon. The doctrine which he professes is certainly not within our reach. Transmigrating and fleshly beings as we are, in the grasp (ākṣipta) of the activities of the fetters, we do not have the capacity for it; who among us could attain such a profound Dharma?”
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.
