貹峾ṛṣṭa (अपरामृष्�) refers to �(remaining) untouched� (by conditions), according to the Netratantroddyota commentary on the Netratantra of Kṣemarāja: a Śaiva text from the 9th century in which Śiva (Bhairava) teaches Pārvatī topics such as metaphysics, cosmology, and soteriology.—Accordingly, [verse 22.11]—“[Śiva is] he who exists in a fixed condition, who brings about all conditions [in all] time[s] and direction[s] but is not touched by [those conditions] (貹峾ṛṣṭaākrāntikṛt tad貹峾ṛṣṭaś ca). He controls them. He is their leader, [he leads] quickly, he wishes it, and he quickly brings [that which is wished for into being. He] projects [all conditions] outward and he also causes them to be made one with himself [internally, inside his consciousness]. [...]�.

[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Aparamrishta in Mahayana glossary
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra

貹峾ṛṣṭa (अपरामृष्�, “unafflicted�) or 貹峾ṛṣṭaśīla refers to the “morality without thoughtless attachment�, according to the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra chapter 36.—Accordingly, “in the face of morality, the Yogin does not undergo the fetter of lust (), pride (Բ), etc. He knows the true nature (ūٲṣaṇa) of morality. If he grasps the characteristics of morality, he would be like a prisoner held by manacles who, even after having been pardoned, remains attached to his golden manacles. The person attached to his own morality by the passion of love is as if in prison: even if he manages to escape, he remains attached (sakta) to the morality like golden fetters. But the Yogin who knows that morality is cause and condition for purity does not experience this attachment to morality itself and is liberated, free of fetters: this is what is called morality ‘without thoughtless attachment� (貹峾ṛṣṭa)�.
