Definition and Etymology

The word ajyeyatā is a feminine noun formed from the root "jay", meaning

"to conquer" or "to win," combined with the prefix a-, which negates the root. 

Therefore, ajyeyatā literally means "not conquerable" or "not able to 

be subjected". It expresses a state where something or someone cannot 

be hurt, overpowered, or subdued
