Atikramya (अतिक्रम्य) (Cf. Parityajya) refers to “having abandoned (the tree)”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Having abandoned the tree (atikramyatarum atikramya yathaite), as the birds go in the early morning, in like manner the embodied souls continually go somewhere depending on their own karma”.

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.
