Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)

Source: De Gruyter: A Buddhist Ritual Manual on Agriculture

Atikramaṇīya (अतिक्रमणीय) refers to “being made to trespass” (as opposed to Anatikramaṇīya—‘not being able to trespass’), according to the Vajratuṇḍasamayakalparāja, an ancient Buddhist ritual manual on agriculture from the 5th-century (or earlier), containing various instructions for the Sangha to provide agriculture-related services to laypeople including rain-making, weather control and crop protection.—Accordingly, [as the Bhagavān teaches the offering of the root spell], “[...] At dawn water mixed with mustard seeds and saffron should be enchanted seven times and thrown in the four directions. It should also be thrown downwards and upwards. There will be a sealing of the boundary for all cold spells, winds, clouds and thunderbolts as far as a yojana all around. All hostile Nāgas will be bound. No Nāgas can trespass (anatikramaṇīya). [...]”.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
