In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation´¡³ÙÄ«²Ô»å°ù¾±²â²¹ (अतीनà¥à¤¦à¥à¤°à¤¿à¤�) refers to one who is “beyond the perception of the sense-organsâ€�, and is used to describe Åšiva, according the ÅšivapurÄṇa 2.2.15. Accordingly as BrahmÄ narrated to NÄrada:—“[...] On arrival there, after paying respects to the lord [Åšiva] with great excitement we lauded Him with various hymns with palms joined in reverence. The Devas said: [...] O lord of everything, we bow to Thee who art beyond the perception of the sense-organs (²¹³ÙÄ«²Ô»å°ù¾±²â²¹); who hast no support; who art the support of all; who hast no cause; who art endless; the primordial and the subtleâ€�.

The Purana (पà¥à¤°à¤¾à¤�, purÄṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Dharmashastra (religious law)
: Google Books: Manusmá¹›ti with the ManubhÄá¹£ya´¡³ÙÄ«²Ô»å°ù¾±²â²¹ (अतीनà¥à¤¦à¥à¤°à¤¿à¤�) refers to one who is “beyond the sensesâ€� and is used to describe Hiraṇyagarbha, in to the Manusmá¹›ti 1.7.—Accordingly, “[...] He,—who is apprehended (²µ°ùÄå³ó²â²¹) beyond the senses (²¹³ÙÄ«²Ô»å°ù¾±²â²¹), who is subtile, unmanifest and eternal, absorbed in all created things and inconceivable,—appeared by himselfâ€�.
´¡³ÙÄ«²Ô»å°ù¾±²â²¹ means that which is beyond the senses, the compound being taken as an ²¹±¹²â²¹²âÄ«²ú³óÄå±¹²¹; the compound â€�²¹³ÙÄ«²Ô»å°ù¾±²â²¹-²µ°ùÄå³ó²â²¹á¸�â€� being included under the general rule of compounds formulated in PÄṇini’s SÅ«tra 2.1.4; the meaning being that he is apprehended beyond the senses, he never comes within range of the senses; it is an entirely different kind of cognition, the intuitive cognition of the Yogin, by which he is apprehended. Or, the compound ‘that which is beyond the sensesâ€� may be taken as standing for the Mind, which, being imperceptible, is not perceived by the senses; [...].

Dharmashastra (धरà¥à¤®à¤¶à¤¾à¤¸à¥à¤¤à¥à¤�, dharmaÅ›Ästra) contains the instructions (shastra) regarding religious conduct of livelihood (dharma), ceremonies, jurisprudence (study of law) and more. It is categorized as smriti, an important and authoritative selection of books dealing with the Hindu lifestyle.
Ayurveda (science of life)
: archive.org: A History of Indian Philosophy (ayurveda)´¡³ÙÄ«²Ô»å°ù¾±²â²¹ (अतीनà¥à¤¦à¥à¤°à¤¿à¤�) refers to “transcending the sensesâ€� and is mentioned as an attribute of Manas according to CakrapÄṇi.—CakrapÄṇi, in explaining the ²¹³ÙÄ«²Ô»å°ù¾±²â²¹ character of manas, says that it is called ²¹³ÙÄ«²Ô»å°ù¾±²â²¹ because it is not a cause of the knowledge of external objects like the other senses. Manas is, indeed, the direct cause of pleasure and pain, but it is the superintendent of all the senses (²¹»å³ó¾±á¹£á¹³óÄå²â²¹°ì²¹). Manas is also called sattva and cetas.

Ä€yurveda (आयà¥à¤°à¥à¤µà¥‡à¤¦, ayurveda) is a branch of Indian science dealing with medicine, herbalism, taxology, anatomy, surgery, alchemy and related topics. Traditional practice of Ä€yurveda in ancient India dates back to at least the first millenium BC. Literature is commonly written in Sanskrit using various poetic metres.
Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)
: VedaBase: ÅšrÄ«mad BhÄgavatam´¡³ÙÄ«²Ô»å°ù¾±²â²¹ (अतीनà¥à¤¦à¥à¤°à¤¿à¤�) refers to “transcendental sensesâ€�.—Bhagavad-gÄ«³ÙÄå speaks of happiness that is transcendental (²¹³ÙÄ«²Ô»å°ù¾±²â²¹) to the material conception of life. When our senses are purified of material contamination, they become ²¹³ÙÄ«²Ô»å°ù¾±²â²¹, transcendental senses, and when the transcendental senses are engaged in the service of the master of the senses, HṛṣīkeÅ›a, one can derive real transcendental pleasure. Whatever distress or happiness we manufacture by mental concoction through the subtle mind has no reality, but is simply a mental concoction. One should therefore not imagine so-called happiness through mental concoction. Rather, the best course is to engage the mind in the service of the Lord, HṛṣīkeÅ›a, and thus feel real blissful life.
: Pure Bhakti: LÄ«lÄ is Beyond the Material Mind and Senses´¡³ÙÄ«²Ô»å°ù¾±²â²¹ (अतीनà¥à¤¦à¥à¤°à¤¿à¤�) refers to that which is “beyond the reach of the material sensesâ€�, attributed to LÄ«lÄ (blissful pastimes).—Karma and LÄ«lÄ are as different as heaven and hell. Karma is performed with material senses (which are bahirmukha, or directed away from service to Kṛṣṇa), whereas LÄ«lÄ is realized through transcendental senses, which are perfectly suited for serving Kṛṣṇa. [...] LÄ«lÄ is beyond the reach of the material senses (atindriya) and even beyond anything the material mind can conceive (avicintya). It is never tainted by anything mundane, nor is it subordinate to anything mundane. This is the sole verdict of Gauá¸Ä«ya-darÅ›ana (the philosophical revelations of the Gauá¸Ä«ya Vaiṣṇavas, who are the followers of ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu).

Vaishnava (वैषà¥à¤£à¤µ, vaiṣṇava) or vaishnavism (vaiṣṇavism) represents a tradition of Hinduism worshipping Vishnu as the supreme Lord. Similar to the Shaktism and Shaivism traditions, Vaishnavism also developed as an individual movement, famous for its exposition of the dashavatara (‘ten avatars of Vishnuâ€�).
Nyaya (school of philosophy)
: Shodhganga: Cosmogony in Indian philosophy´¡³ÙÄ«²Ô»å°ù¾±²â²¹ (अतीनà¥à¤¦à¥à¤°à¤¿à¤�) refers to “transcendentalâ€� and is mentioned as an attribute of atoms (±è²¹°ù²¹³¾Äåá¹Ðê).—According to the NyÄyasÅ«tra, the atom is transcendental (atindriya) and not perceptible to sense (aindriyaka). On the atindriyatva of atom Gautama further comments that there is evidence of perception that production of the distinct comes from distinct. Here commentator VÄtsÄyana opines that from the clay enriched with the qualities of °ùÅ«±è²¹ etc is produced the things which also possess the qualities of °ùÅ«±è²¹ etc. From this, the existence of ²¹»åṛṣá¹a i.e. â€�atindriya ±è²¹°ù²¹³¾Äåá¹Ðêâ€� can be inferred.

Nyaya (नà¥à¤¯à¤¾à¤�, nyaya) refers to a school of Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. The Nyaya philosophy is known for its theories on logic, methodology and epistemology, however, it is closely related with Vaisheshika in terms of metaphysics.
Shaiva philosophy
: Brill: Åšaivism and the Tantric Traditions (philosophy)´¡³ÙÄ«²Ô»å°ù¾±²â²¹ (अतीनà¥à¤¦à¥à¤°à¤¿à¤�) refers to “beyond the reach of the sense organsâ€�, according to Utpaladeva’s Vivá¹›ti on ĪśvarapratyabhijñÄkÄrikÄ 1.5.6.—Accordingly, “[...] Ordinary human practice [can even occur] with an object such as the sense organs, or heaven and liberation, although [these always remain] beyond the reach of the sense organs (²¹³ÙÄ«²Ô»å°ù¾±²â²¹), [but] only inasmuch as they are [somehow] manifest in the concept [representing them]. And [since it is] so, being an object is nothing but having a form that is [presently] being manifest, and the goal [of human practice] only concerns what is merely such [and nothing beyond manifestation]â€�

In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve Reflections´¡³ÙÄ«²Ô»å°ù¾±²â²¹ (अतीनà¥à¤¦à¥à¤°à¤¿à¤�) refers to “beyond the sensesâ€�, according to the 11th century JñÄnÄrṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Åšubhacandra.—Accordingly, “The three worlds, which are made foolish by the action of the poison of lust, are fast asleep in this gaping mouth of Yama’s serpent which is marked by fangs of destruction. While this one whose disposition is pitiless is devouring everyone, certainly there is no way out from this for you, noble fellow, by any means [even] with some difficulty without knowledge of what is beyond the senses [com.â€�²¹³ÙÄ«²Ô»å°ù¾±²â²¹-jñÄna—‘knowledge of what is beyond the senses’]. [Thus ends the reflection on] helplessnessâ€�.
Synonyms: Atyaká¹£a.

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
