andha hi

 In Sanskrit, andha hi most naturally means “for (he is) blind” or “indeed blind,” because andha means “blind” and hi is a particle meaning “indeed,” “for,” or “because.”

What the individual words mean

• andha (अन्ध) — “blind,” both literally and metaphorically.
• hi (हि) — an enclitic particle meaning “indeed,” “surely,” “for,” “because.”

Together, andha hi is not a dictionary compound but a normal syntactic phrase:
andha hi → “for (he is) blind,” “because (he is) blind,” or “indeed blind.”

Why this differs from andhāhi

The web results show entries for andhāhi / andhahi, which is a compound word, not the phrase the user asked about:

• andhāhi (अन्धाहि) — a compound of andha (“blind”) + ahi (“snake”), meaning a “blind (i.e., non‑poisonous) snake” or a kind of fish

Summary

• andha hi is a phrase meaning “indeed blind” or “for (he is) blind.”
• It should not be confused with andhāhi, a compound meaning “blind snake” or a type of fish
