  • Rāmāyaṇa (5.14.12), describing individuals as fearless
  • Draupadīpramātha (8.19), again indicating courage and absence of fear

In German and Sanskrit dictionary references, "apabhī" is translated as furchtlos 
(fearless)
.

The word can appear in either masculine, feminine, or neuter forms,
often reflecting the gender and number of the noun it qualifies
.

While "apabhī" specifically conveys fearlessness, it is distinct from 
the prefix abhi, which conveys directionality (towards, into), intensity, 
or superiority in other Sanskrit compounds

undaunted, and is widely attested in Sanskrit epics and literature. Its

and metaphorical contexts
