aniruddha. (T. ma 'gags pa; C. bumie 不滅). Unconfined, unobstructed, not limited [to any side], unceasing.[1]
According to the Princeton Dictionary, this term is used to describe uncompounded (asaṃskṛta) phenomena, especially nirvana, which are not subject either to production or extinction.[2]
In the Dzogchen tradition, unobstructed is a characteristic of the energy aspect of the nature of mind.
