Adīrgha (अदीर्घ) refers to “that which is not long”, according to the Bṛhadāraṇyikopaniṣat 3.8.6, 8.—Accordingly, while describing the absolute nature of Brahma: “Gārgi said, ‘Yājñavalkya, that which is above the sky, below the earth, between the two and called [past, present and future], is stitched and cross-stitched in what?’ Yājñavalkya said, ‘Gārgi, the Brahmins call that very [thing] the imperishable one. [It is] not coarse, not particulated, not short, not long (adīrgha), bloodless, unlubricated, shadowless, undarkened, windless, spaceless, unattached, tasteless, scentless, invisible, inaudible, speechless, mindless [...]’”.
