Source: academia.edu: A Study and Translation of the GaganagañjaparipṛcchāUttīrya (उत्तीर्य) refers to “having crossed over to the other side”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, “[...] The Bodhisattva Gaganagañja then sustained the jewel-canopy of ten thousand yojanas high over the Lord’s lion throne in the sky, joined the palms of his hands, saluted, and praised the Lord with these suitable verses: ‘[...] (15) Having crossed over to the other side (uttīrya), saving (uttaraṇa) an inconceivable number of living beings (bahusatva), having been released yourself (muktvā), you completely release those still in bondage (bandhana), you care for the living beings of the world (jagat) in this unsurpassable (anuttara) great vehicle (mahāyāna), and you place them in extinction, which is the sameness of being beyond any way (nairyāṇa). [...]”.
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.

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.
