Nirvikārin (निर्विकारिन्) or Nirvikārī refers to “he who is not subject to deterioration or decay”, and represents an epithet of Śiva, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.10. Accordingly as Viṣṇu said to Brahmā:—“[...] He cannot be defined. He is not subject to deterioration or decay (nirvikārin). He is the supreme soul, without a second, unswerving and endless. He is the cause of dissolution, all-pervasive and great lord”.
