ati°, partly no doubt graphic, see atikrānta), (1) adj.,

advanced, eminent, successful: Divy 311.5 f. abhikrānto

abhikkanta is used in mgs. very close to this; instead,

read abhikr° for atikr° Divy 462.13); MSV i.54.5; 58.16,

etc.; (2) adj., fine, beautiful, of color (Pali abhikkanta,

also with vaṇṇa): prob. read in LV 398.11 abhikrāntena

varṇena; Lefm. em. abhisaṃkrāntena v°; most mss.

abhisaṃskāreṇa (seems senseless); v.l. atisaṃkrāntena;

Calc. atikrāntena, which is the usual BHS form in this

mg. and may be right; (3) n., approach: °ta-pratikrānta,

approach and recession, Mv i.301.5 (mss. ati°); iii.60.5;
