Englishअपःसंवर्त Tatpur. m. (-र्तः) (In Buddhistic doctrine.) The destruc-
tion of the earth by water. ‘A hundred thousand years pre-
vious to the destruction of the earth by water, a Deva ap-
pears to warn all the beings concerned of the event, as when
it is destroyed by fire
a cloud forms at the same time in a
Kela-laksha of Sakwalas and after raining for a short time
disappears. After an immense interval another cloud appears,
and the rain called Khārodaka begins to fall
at first in
small drops, but gradually increasing in size until they are
as large as a palm tree
this rain is so acrid that it dissolves
entirely the earth and all things connected with it’ (Spence
Hardy, Manual of Buddhism p. 32). E. अपस् and संवर्त.
