Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Duratikrama (दुरतिक्रम) refers to “one who is indefatigable” [?], according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.23 (“Attempt of Himavat to dissuade Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, as the Gods and others said to Viṣṇu: “We dare not go near the great lord Śiva who is very terrifying, furious and who has the burning brilliance of the deadly fire of dissolution. Undoubtedly he will burn us all in His anger as Kāma, the indefatigable [i.e., duratikrama] god, has been burnt by him”.
Duratikrama (दुरतिक्रम).—A son of Suhotri, the avatār of the Lord.*

The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Duratikrama (दुरतिक्रम) is the name of a deity associated with the second court (āvaraṇa) of the temple, as discussed in the ninth chapter of the Īśvarasaṃhitā (printed edition), a Pāñcarātra work in 8200 verses and 24 chapters dealing with topics such as routines of temple worship, major and minor festivals, temple-building and initiation.—Description of the chapter [dvārāvaraṇa-devatālakṣaṇa-ādi-vidhi]: This chapter concerns the daily ritual obligations owed to the deities whose abodes are fixed in the temple doorways—[...] In the second court [āvaraṇa] will be found Garuḍa’s shrine (52-58), as well as Upendra, Tejodhara, Duratikrama, Mahākarmā, Mahāhrada, Agrāhya, Vasuretas and Vardhamāna in the various directions, with Sākṣī in the sky and Ādhāranilaya beneath. At the gopuras leading into this second courtyard will be found Śaṅkha and Padma in front and Bhadra and Subhadra in back (51b-83). Further descriptions and eulogies of selected names from the lists above are given (84-88).
