apsumat

apsumat m. f. n. (-mān-matī-mat) ¹ Having or possessing

what is in water or arises from water; e. g. Agni so called

from his combination with the fire of lightning which is in,

or comes from, the rain-waters; or in the Chhāndogya Up.:

na hāpsu praityapsumānbhavati ya etadevaṃ vidvānsarvāsvapsu pañcavidhaṃ

sāmopāste (where Ānandajn. explains the word ‘possessed

with water’, viz. asāvupāsako marusthalīṣvapi yathecchamudaka-

vānbhavatītyarthaḥ, but it is perhaps better to say that such a

worshipper becomes possessed with all the benefits that

are in, or come from, water). ² Containing, or accom-

panied with, the word apsu; as verses, e. g. in the Śatap.:

apsumatībhyāmagneretadvaiśvānarasya stotram; or as oblations, e. g.

apsumantāvājyabhāgau, whereon the Prauḍham. observes:

apsumantāviti . kārīryā ājyabhāgayoḥ . apsu agne sadhiṣṭha

ca . apsu me somo'bravīdityanuvākye . tatra cāpsuśabdo'sti.

E. apsu (loc. plur. of ap), taddh. aff. matup.
