In Buddhism
Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāSamāropa (समारोप) refers to “imputing”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “[...] Ratnaśrī said: ‘Son of good family, how is ‘matter of dispute (adhikaraṇa)’ explained?’ Gaganagañja said: ‘Son of good family, ‘matter of dispute’ is a word for imputing (samāropa). One who does not impute anything to any dharma does not makes any matter of dispute concerning any dharma, therefore a word for ‘no matter of dispute’ is a word for sameness; a word for sameness is a word for the incomparable; a word for the incomparable is a word for the absence of words; a word for the absence of words is a word for the absence of letters; [...]’”.
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.
