apagūḍha

 The correct Devanagari rendering of apagūḍha is अपगूढ.

Short answer: अपगूढ
This is the standard Devanagari spelling corresponding to the IAST form apagūḍha.

✅ How the transliteration maps to Devanagari

Breaking the word into phonetic components:

• a → अ
• pa → प
• ga → ग
• gū → गू (ग + ū vowel sign)
• ḍha → ढ (retroflex ḍh)

Putting them together yields:

अ + प + ग + ऊ + ढ → अपगूढ

✅ Why this is the correct form

• The long ū is written with the long vowel sign ू, producing गू.
• The retroflex ḍh (ḍha) is represented by ढ, not the dental ढ or ड.
• No conjuncts are required because the phonetic structure does not create clusters.
