Sthâvara

(Sk.)

From sthâ to stay or remain motionless. The term for all conscious, sentient objects deprived of the power of locomotion — fixed and rooted like the trees or plants; while all those sentient things, which add motion to a certain degree of consciousness, are called Jangama, from gam, to move, to go. (TG).
