In Hinduism
Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar)
Atikrama (अतिक्रम).—Passing over a word in the क्रमपाठ (kramapāṭha) without repeating it; passing beyond, cf. अतिक्रम्य परिग्रहः (atikramya parigrahaḥ) R. Pr. X.7, which means catching a word for repetition by coming back after passing over it, e. g. इन्द्राग्नी अपात् । इन्द्राग्नी इति इन्द्राग्नी । (indrāgnī apāt | indrāgnī iti indrāgnī |) or अनु दक्षि । दक्षि दावने (anu dakṣi | dakṣi dāvane) | दक्षीति दक्षि । (dakṣīti dakṣi |)

Vyakarana (व्याकरण, vyākaraṇa) refers to Sanskrit grammar and represents one of the six additional sciences (vedanga) to be studied along with the Vedas. Vyakarana concerns itself with the rules of Sanskrit grammar and linguistic analysis in order to establish the correct context of words and sentences.
In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Atikrama (अतिक्रम) or Samatikrama refers to “transcending (all attachments)”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “How then, son of good family, does the Bodhisattva transcend all attachments (sarvasaṅga-samatikrama)? What is called ‘attachment’ means the manifestation of viewpoints on the dharmas. The Bodhisattva transcends all attachments since he is free from any manifestation of viewpoints. Just as the wind is not attached to the vault of the sky, so the Bodhisattva who is endowed with the wind-like thought is not attached to any living being”.
Atikrama (अतिक्रम) refers to an “overflow (of the sea)”, according to the 2nd-century Meghasūtra (“Cloud Sutra”) in those passages which contain ritual instructions.—Accordingly, “He who desires a mighty rain must perform this rite ‘the great-cloud-circle’ in an open space, overspread by a blue canopy, shaded by a blue banner, on a clear spot of earth; [...] Even the sea may overflow (atikrama) its shore, but his auspicious word “Rain” fails not; nay, he must sustain himself on the three sweets, ghee, honey and sugar, and by rice, sugar, milk, etc., joined with all virtues of character, and repeat this; so it must needs be effectual, according to the word of the Lord of Speakers. [...]”.

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.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Atikrama (अतिक्रम) refers to “violation of vows” and represents 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 violation of the vows (atikrama)? It means developing deterioration of mental purity.

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.
