General definition (in Buddhism)
Aratisaṃkhyānirodha (अरतिसंख्यानिरोध) or simply apratisaṃkhyā refers to “unobserved cessation” and represents the third of the “three unconditioned things” (asaṃskṛta) as defined in the Dharma-saṃgraha (section 32). It can also be spelled as Apratisaṅkhyānirodha. The Dharma-samgraha (Dharmasangraha) is an extensive glossary of Buddhist technical terms in Sanskrit (e.g., apratisaṃkhyā-nirodha). The work is attributed to Nagarjuna who lived around the 2nd century A.D.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
