Anabhiṣyandin (अनभिष्यन्दिन्) refers to that which is “not causing effluxions”, as mentioned in verse 5.18 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] not causing effluxions [viz., anabhiṣyandin] (of phlegm) and light (on the stomach is) water (that has) boiled and cooled down. In case a humour is combined with choler, (it is) wholesome; having passed (a day, however), it (is) productive of the three humours”.

Note: Anabhiṣyandin (“not causing effluxions”) has been paraphrased by bad-kan mi skyed (“produces no phlegm”) and laghu (“light”) by lus yaṅ (“light on the body”) [i.e. on the stomach; cf. v. 16].
