Avyaya (अव्यय, IAST: Avyaya) is an Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Imperishable, inexhaustible, never subject to diminution”. From a- (not) and vyaya (expenditure, decay, loss), Avyaya declares that Vishnu's divine essence sustains no decrease — His power, glory, and compassion are forever inexhaustible.
Meaning, etymology & significance
The root vi + i yields vyaya, meaning 'going away' or 'expenditure,' commonly used for the dissipation of wealth or energy. As Avyaya, Vishnu is the One whose infinite treasury of being is never spent down, no matter how liberally He bestows blessings upon creation. The Bhagavad Gītā uses avyaya to describe the imperishable Self, and the Sahasranama applies it to Vishnu as the supreme ground of that imperishability.
Avyaya is also a term in Sanskrit grammar for an indeclinable word — one that never changes form — deepening the resonance of this name as signifying changeless permanence; it is pronounced uh-VYY-uh-yuh.
Scriptural source
Avyaya appears in the Vishnu Sahasranama, among the sacred names of Vishnu.
