anavagāhin

 

"Anavagāhin" is a Sanskrit term meaning “one who does not enter into attachment or one who cannot be approached by sins or negativity,” often used in Hindu texts to describe divinity or purity.

Etymology

The word Anavagāhin (अनवगाहिन्) can be broken down into two parts:

• an(a-): a negation prefix meaning “not” or “without”
• avagāhin: derived from the root gāh (to enter, to go into) with the
• prefix ava-, meaning “approach” or “penetrate”

Combining these components, Anavagāhin literally means 

“not enterable” or “inaccessible to”
