anīḍa

  

In Sanskrit, Anīḍa (अनीड) is a compound adjective formed from a- (अ-, "not" or "without") + nīḍa (नीड, "nest," "abode," or "resting place").

​Primary Meanings

  • ​Nestless / Homeless: Literally translates to "without a nest" or "having no fixed dwelling". In the Rigveda (10.55.6), it is used to describe a entity or bird without a resting place (anīḷa in Vedic Sanskrit).

  • ​Incorporeal / Bodyless: Metaphorically, nīḍa refers to the physical body as a "nest" or home for the soul. Thus, Anīḍa means "without a body," "unhoused," or "incorporeal," often used in Upanishadic and philosophical texts to describe the Supreme Reality or God (Brahman).

  • ​Restless / Eternal Motion: An epithet used for Agni (fire/the Vedic fire god), representing fire's nature of having no permanent home and being constantly in motion.

​Alternate Spelling/Transliteration: Anida (अनिद)

​If spelled with a short 'i' (Anida / अनिद), it is an adjective derived differently in classic texts like the Bhagavata Purana (1.2.42), meaning "that which cannot be seen" or "unseen."
