Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)

Samatikrama (समतिक्रम) 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”.

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.
