Word-by-Word Breakdown & Meaning:

• duḥkha (दुःख) — Sorrow, suffering, pain, misery
  
  
• nivṛtti (निवृत्ति) — Cessation, termination, absolute removal
  
  
• paramātma (परमात्म) — The Supreme Self / God (Paramātman)

This foundational concept across Indian philosophical traditions (such as Vedānta, Sāṁkhya, and Yoga) defines the ultimate goal of human life (mokṣa or liberation). It represents a two-fold outcome: the negative dimension of permanently ending all material miseries (duḥkha-nivṛtti) combined with the positive dimension of realizing the Supreme Soul or Supreme Bliss (paramātma-prāpti / paramānanda-prāpti).
