 अपस् I. 1. n. (-पः)
	^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 अपस् however
may be a mistake for आपस्,  viz. पृथिव्यपस्तेजो वायुरा-
काशं कालो दिगात्मा मन इति द्रव्याणि ॥.] Compare also
आपस्. E. आप्,  uṇ. aff. असुन्,  the vowel of the radical
being shortened
 but more probably of अप्,  comp. the E.
of अप्त and see the Preface.
2. f. plur. (-सः) (ved.) Water (comp. अप्)
 e. g. बह्वी-
नां गर्भोऽपसाम् ‘(Agni) is the child of abundant waters’
(according to Sāyaṇa,  because he comes as lightning from the
waters collected in the clouds
 comp. अपां गर्भः s. v. अप्).
E. आप्,  uṇ. असि
 and as before but see the Preface.
II. 1. m. f. plur. (-सः-सः) (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 त्रिधातवः
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 त्रिधातवः,  when,  according to Mahīdhara,  in the
sense of पशु or sacrificial animal.
	^4 Rapid,  swift
 as a
river
 comp. अपस्तम.
2. m. (-पाः) The name of one of the seven Prajāpatis
in the second or the Manwantara of Svārochiṣa,  according
to the Mātsya Purāṇa. E. अपस्,  with luk of the taddh.
aff. विनि.
III. ind. A further developement of the prefix अप in com-
bination with the inflected forms,  and in composition with
some derivatives,  of कॄ q. v.
 comp. अपस्कर. The native
theory considers however अपस्किरते &c. as अप and किरते
&c. with āgama सुट्
 see the Preface.
