Simple Meaning:
From *a* (not) + *vyakta* (manifest, visible); "He Who Is Unmanifest, the Hidden One" - His truest nature remains forever unmanifest, beyond the reach of any eye or instrument; He hides behind all that is visible.
Mythology / Philosophy / Spiritual:
**Explanation
*Avyakta* means unmanifest, hidden, or imperceptible. Vishnu's ultimate nature is *Avyakta* — beyond the range of senses, mind, and intellect. He existed before all manifestation (*vyakta*) and will remain after all manifestation dissolves. He is the eternal unmanifest ground from which all manifestation emerges. **Spiritual Interpretation
The Bhagavad Gita (8.20-21) describes *Avyakta* as the highest state — beyond the *vyakta* (manifest) universe and even beyond the *avyakta* (unmanifest primordial nature): *"But beyond this unmanifest, there is another Avyakta — eternal, which does not perish when all beings perish. This is called the Imperishable, the supreme goal."* This supreme *Avyakta* is Vishnu-Brahman. **Puranic Reference
The Vishnu Purana uses *Avyakta* as the name of Vishnu's primordial state during cosmic dissolution (*pralaya*) — when all creation has dissolved back into Him and He rests in His unmanifest, self-luminous nature, prior to the next cycle of creation.
विवेचन:
जो अप्रकट, सूक्ष्म आणि इंद्रियांना न दिसणारा आहे, तो अव्यक्तः. सृष्टी प्रकट होण्यापूर्वीचे कारणरूप सत्य तोच आहे. रूप, नाम आणि मर्यादा यांच्या आधी असणारे तत्त्व म्हणजे अव्यक्त.
अर्थ:
अस्पष्ट किंवा गुप्त
