Akṣubdha (अक्षुब्ध) refers to “unperturbable” and is used to describe the Ātman (one’s own self), according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] You are the one witness of everything, and are always totally free. The cause of your bondage is that you see the witness as something other than this. [...] You are unconditioned and changeless, formless and immovable, unfathomable awareness and unperturbable (akṣubdha), so hold to nothing but consciousness [agādhabuddhirakṣubdho bhava cinmātravāsanaḥ]. Recognise that the apparent is unreal, while the unmanifest is abiding. Through this initiation into truth you will escape falling into unreality again. [...] ”.
