Nishprapanchaya

Nishprapanchaya is the dative of a Sanskrit noun, niṣprapañca, sometimes translated as "absolute presence". The dative form occurs in some popular mantras, as following Om Namah Shivaya (plus a string of datives giving qualities of Shiva).

A literal translation of niṣprapañca is "without extension", where niṣ- conveys the negative, and the pra-pañca means "expansion, manifoldness". The term is used in the Bhagavata Purana to convey the idea of the singular God not subject to "manifoldness" in Hindu monotheism.
