-āpaḥ-apaḥ-adbhiḥ-adbhyaḥ-apām-apsu) 1 Water.--Ac-
cording to the Hindu doctrine it is one of the five elements
the several denominations of which are ākāśa (æther),
vāyu (air), agni (fire), ap (water), pṛthivī (earth), (each
of these being also replaced by synonymes, as ākāśa
by vyoman, vāyu by marut, agni by tejas, ap by
vāri, pṛthivī by kṣiti &c.; comp. under ākāśa &c.); the
place, however, which water holds in the Hindu cosmogony
varies according to the doctrines. Thus the Bṛhad-Āraṇ-
yaka Upan. represents it as the first material creation, it
being produced by Death after the creation of Soul; but
its character in this Upanishad is not yet that of an element
in the later sense of the word; nor is it such an element in
the Aitareya-Upan., where the order of the primitive ma-
terial creation is ambhas (the waters above the heavens),
marīci (the sphere of sunbeams or atmosphere), mara (the
sphere of death or earth) and ap (the sphere of waters
beneath the earth).--In the Taittirīya-Upan. the order and
successive origin of the elements is the same as in the Ve-
dānta, viz. æther, in which originates air and thus suc-
cessively fire, water, earth. But the Vedānta complicates
this simple view by assuming a creation of subtle elements
(see sūkṣmaśarīra) æther &c., produced by Chaitanya or the
worldly Brahman, whence arise through an intricate division
and combination of the several parts of each, the material
elements (see sthūlaśarīra) æther &c.; this system holds more-
over that each successive element becomes possessed of the
qualities of each preceding one, i. e. the quality of æther
being sound, air obtains the qualities of sound and touch,
and in a similar progress, fire the qualities of sound, touch
and form, water of sound, touch, form and savour, earth
of sound, touch, form, savour and odour.--According to
the Sāṅkhya the coarse elements also arise from subtle ele-
ments, but the latter (tanmātra q. v.), produced by Ahaṅkāra
or the type of I, are the qualities sound, touch, form,
savour and odour, æther proceeding from sound, air from
touch, fire from form, water from savour and earth from
odour. (Compare also Suśruta's mythological developement
of the Sāṅkhya-Yoga: avyaktaṃ mahānahaṃkāraḥ pañca tanmātrāṇi ce-
tyaṣṭau prakṛtayaḥ śeṣāḥ ṣoḍaśa vikārāḥ . svaḥ svaścaiṣāṃ viṣayo'dhi-
bhūtam . svayamadhyātmamadhidaivataṃ ca . atha buddherbrahmā . ahaṃkārasye-
śvaraḥ . manasaścandramāḥ . diśaḥ śrotrasya . tvaco vāyuḥ . sūryaścakṣu-
ṣoḥ . rasanasyāpaḥ . pṛthivī ghrāṇasya . &c.)--The Nyāya
systems, more especially the Vaiśeṣika, do not discuss the
origin of these elements, the order of which they retain,
but attach themselves chiefly to the definition of their
properties; accord. to the Vaiśeṣika the qualities of water
are touch, number, quantity, individuality, conjunction, dis-
junction, greater or less comprehensiveness (extension), ve-
locity, gravity, fluidity, colour, savour and viscidity. (For
those of the other elements see s. vv. ākāśa &c.) The cos-
mogony of Manu which is neither the pure Sāṅkhya nor the
pure Vedānta doctrine (although Kullūka endeavours to ex-
plain his terms as if they were pure Vedānta terms), but
a theory apparently prior to both and combining their views,
imagines the coarse elements as proceeding from the subtle
portions of the seven intellectual creations--puruṣāḥ which
are, according to Kullūka, ahaṃkāra, mahat and the five
subtle elements(?)--and endowed with the same qualities
as assigned to them by the Vedānta.--According to the
Viṣṇupurāṇa ‘elementary Egotism (the type of I, ahaṃkāra)
becoming productive as the rudiment of sound, produced
from it æther, of which sound is the characteristic, invest-
ing it with its rudiment of sound; æther becoming produc-
tive, engendered the rudiment of touch; whence originated
strong wind, the property of which is touch; and æther
with the rudiment of sound, enveloped the rudiment of
touch; then wind becoming productive, produced the rudi-
ment of form (colour); whence fire proceeded of which form
is the attribute, and the rudiment of touch enveloped the
wind with the rudiment of colour; fire becoming productive
produced the rudiment of savour, whence proceed all juices
in which savour resides, and the rudiment of colour invested
the juices with the rudiment of savour; the waters becoming
productive engendered the rudiment of smell; whence an
aggregate (earth) originates, of which smell is the property.’
In a note to this passage (Viṣṇup. p. 16) Professor Wilson
observes that ‘the successive series of rudiments and ele-
ments and their respectively engendering the rudiments and
elements next in order occur in most of the Purāṇas in
nearly the same words’, that ‘some of the Purāṇas, as the
Matsya, Vāyu, Linga, Bhāgavata and Mārkaṇḍeya add a
description of a participation of properties amongst the ele-
ments, which is rather Vedānta than Sāṅkhya’ and mentions
a passage of the Moksha Dharma (vv. 6778. 6779) of the
Māhābhārata which is an exception, since its order of the
elements is æther, water, fire, air, earth. [On the cosmo-
gony of the chapter in which these latter verses occur, Arju-
namiśra has the following gloss: ko'yaṃ sargaprakāraḥ . na hi
sāṅkhyādisargeṣvayaṃ kramaḥ . ucyate . anyo'yaṃ prakāraḥ sargasya .
paurāṇikādisaṃmateṣu &c.; but he omits to say which Pu-
rāṇas give this anomalous order of the elements.] For the
Bhāgav. Pur. comp. III. 26. 29. ff. and the two verses VII.
12. 25 and 30: khe khāni vāyau niḥśvāsāṃstejasyūṣmāṇamātmavān .
apsvasṛkśleṣmapūyāni kṣitau śeṣaṃ yathodbhavam (scil. nyaset); and
apsu kṣitimapo jyotiṣyado vāyau nabhasyamum . kūṭasthe tacca ma-
hati tadavyakte'kṣare ca tat (this reverted order being that in
which dissolution takes place).--In the Vedas, however,
apāṃ garbhaḥ ‘the child of the waters’ is an epithet of Agni,
‘because he comes forth from amid the waters’ or ‘because
he resides as lightning amidst the rain-waters’ (according to
Mahīdhara); comp. also garbho apasām s. v. apas; from the
same reason probably Agni is also called apāṃ or apo
napāt ‘the grandson of the waters’, but, in Sāyaṇa's
opinion, ‘because trees grow through the agency of water
and fire comes (through the friction of the wood) of trees.
For the other explanations of these words see s. vv. apā-
nnapāt, apānnaptṛ; comp. also aponapāt, aponaptṛ, apona-
ptriya, aponaptrīya, apānnaptriya, apānnaptrīya.--apāṃ vratam

pounds the latter part of which is ap assume the samās. aff.

times the word remains unchanged, if it is a Bahuvr. com-
pound, e. g. svap, bahvap (in which case the neuter plur. is
svāmpi, bahvāmpi); if the first part of the compound is anu,
the grammarians assume that ap becomes ūp provided
the meaning refers to a place, i. e. anūpa (comp. also sūpa);
if it is dvi, antar or a prepositional prefix not ending in
a or ā, that ap becomes īp; comp. dvīpa, antarīpa,

parepa.--(Another explanation of these compounds will be
found in the Preface.)].--Compare also apa and apas.
