    apas I. 1. n. (-paḥ) 1 Action, act, esp. a religious or sacri-

    ficial act. (ved.) 2 Water. [It is very doubtful whether

    the word is correct in the latter sense, as a neuter sing.;

    comp. I. 2., it occurs as such in the following Sūtra of

    Kaṇāda (E. I. H. Ms. 232) where the reading apas however

    may be a mistake for āpas, viz. pṛthivyapastejo vāyurā-

    kāśaṃ kālo digātmā mana iti dravyāṇi ...] Compare also

    āpas. E. āp, uṇ. aff. asun, the vowel of the radical

    being shortened; but more probably of ap, comp. the E.

    of apta and see the Preface.

    2. f. plur. (-saḥ) (ved.) Water (comp. ap); e. g. bahvī-

    nāṃ garbho'pasām ‘(Agni) is the child of abundant waters’;

    (according to Sāyaṇa, because he comes as lightning from the

    waters collected in the clouds; comp. apāṃ garbhaḥ s. v. ap).

    E. āp, uṇ. asi; and as before but see the Preface.

    II. 1. m. f. plur. (-saḥ-saḥ) (ved.) 1 Active, engaged in pursuits

    in general, more esp. in the performance of religious or

    sacrificial acts; in the femin. also as an epithet of the fingers.

    2 Fulfilling an act or business; as an epithet of tridhātavaḥ

    or ‘the three worlds upheld by the three divinities Fire,

    Wind and Sun’, ‘cold, heat, wind, rain &c.’ being, as

    Mahīdhara explains, ‘the doings of the world’. 3 Possessing

    activity (or perhaps, referring to religious acts) as an epi-

    thet of tridhātavaḥ, when, according to Mahīdhara, in the

    sense of paśu or sacrificial animal. 4 Rapid, swift; as a

    river; comp. apastama.

    2. m. (-pāḥ) The name of one of the seven Prajāpatis

    in the second or the Manwantara of Svārochiṣa, according

    to the Mātsya Purāṇa. E. apas, with luk of the taddh.

    aff. vini.

    III. ind. A further developement of the prefix apa in com-

    bination with the inflected forms, and in composition with

    some derivatives, of kṝ q. v.; comp. apaskara. The native

    theory considers however apaskirate &c. as apa and kirate

    &c. with āgama suṭ; see the Preface.
