Niḥprabha (निःप्र�) refers to the “fading� (of a rising sun), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.23 (“Outraging the modesty of Vṛndā�).—Accordingly, as Sanatkumāra narrated to Vyāsa: “[...] The gentle lady Vṛndā, the wife of Jalandhara, though of pure rites, had a very bad dream at night on account of Viṣṇu’s power of illusion. [...] Later, towards the end of the night she had various bad dreams, such as the whole city was submerged in the sea, all of a sudden, along with herself. Then the lady woke up still thinking of the dream she had had. She saw the rising sun with a hole in the middle and fading (Ծḥp) repeatedly. On realising that it was a bad portent, the terrified lady began to cry. She did not feel happy at all in the spacious terraces and towers of the palace. [...]�.
