अनिघ (anigha)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
anigha, adj. (= Pali id., also anīgha), free from evil (? see nigha, nīgha)
occurs chiefly (in Pali literature, aside from commentarial etymologies, only) in the neg. form
ep. of Buddha, or at least of perfected saints. In Pali often rendered calm, unperturbed, but it seems that free from evil (whether sin, pāpa, or misery, duḥkha) will suffice in all Pali and BHS occurrences. Regularly in lists of formulaic epithets which give little clue to a more precise mg.: LV 〔358.5〕
Mv 〔ii.397.16〕
〔iii.400.2〕 (same vs in Pali Sn 〔534〕 with anigha)
〔418.14〕
Ud 〔xxix.34〕
Gv 〔284.6〕.
