In Buddhism

Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)

Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā

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. [...]”.
