[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Staimityarupa in Pancaratra glossary
: archive.org: A History of Indian Philosophy (pancaratra)

ٲٲⲹū貹 (स्तैमित्यरूप) refers to “pure stillness�, according to the Ahirbudhnya-saṃhitā 5.4.—In another chapter of the Ahirbudhnyasaṃhitā it is said that the power in its original state may be conceived to be pure stillness (ٲٲⲹū貹) or pure vacuity (śūԲⲹٱ-ū辱ṇ�), and it is out of its own indescribable spontaneity that it begins to set itself in motion. It is this spontaneity, which springs out of itself and is its own, that is described as the thought of God or its self-dirempting activity, its desire for being many. All creation proceeds out of this spontaneity; creation is not to be described as an event which happened at a particular time, but it is the eternal spontaneity of this power of God that reveals itself as eternal creation, as eternal and continuous self-manifestation
