Anūpa (अनूप, “wet”) or Anūpadeśa refers to “wet land” and represents one of the three classifications of “land” (deśa), as defined in the first chapter (ānūpādi-varga) of the 13th-century Raj Nighantu or Rājanighaṇṭu (an Ayurvedic encyclopedia). Accordingly, “this type of land [viz., anūpa-deśa] is rich in water resources and a variety of fauna on its copper coloured soil, which produces rice. It is a rugged terrain, full of small hillocks with a vast expanse and its air is pleasantly cooled by numerous waterfalls. Thus, it eradicates pitta-doṣa. This land possesses cold properties. The diseases of gastro-intestinal tract and also the diseases due to kapha and vāta are common in such lands”.

1) Ānūpa (आनूप) refers to “marshy land water” and is classified as terrestial type of water (jala) according to the 17th century Bhojanakutūhala (dravyaguṇāguṇa-kathana), and is commonly found in literature dealing with the topics of dietetics and culinary art, also known as Pākaśāstra or Pākakalā.—Different types of water (jala) and their properties are mentioned here [viz., in jala-prakaraṇa]. The water is classified into two as celestial and terrestrial ones. Terrestrial waters are classified into three [viz., marshy land water (ānūpa)].

2) Ānūpa (आनूप) or Ānūpamāmṣa also refers to the meat of animals “living in marshy lands”, according to the same Bhojanakutūhala, in the dravyaguṇāguṇa section which contains the discussions on different food articles and their dietetic effects according to the prominent Ayurvedic treatises.

Ānupa (आनुप, “sub-aquatic”):—One of the six types of habitats (deśa).—These geographical habitats are divided according to their bhūtas. Jāṅgala has a predominance of Vāta and Pitta. Skilled physicians should account for the nature of the habitat when treating a patient. The word is used throughout Ayurvedic (India medicine) literature such as the Caraka-saṃhitā and the Suśruta-saṃhitā.

Animals, which are generally found to frequent marshy places (Ānupas) may be divided into five groups, such as,

1. the Kulachara (or, kūlacara) (frequenting the shores of pools and lakes),
2. Plava (divers or swimmers),
3. Koshastha (conchiferous aquatic animals such as, the molluscs etc.),

No water or, in case of incapability, little (is) to be drunk by those suffering from weak digestion and visceral induration (and) by those suffering from jaundice, abdominal swellings, diarrhea, hemorrhoids, dysentery, and cutaneous swellings. Except in autumn and summer, even a healthy man shall drink only little”.

Anūpa (अनूप) or Sānūpa refers to “marshy lands” (suitable for tracking footprints), according to the Śyainika-śāstra: a Sanskrit treatise dealing with the divisions and benefits of Hunting and Hawking, written by Rājā Rudradeva (or Candradeva) in possibly the 13th century.—Accordingly, “Hunting by the observation of footprints (padaprekṣā) is that in which animals are tracked by their footprints and killed. It is of two kinds: [śvapadaprekṣikā and pūrvaśabdita] [...] These two kinds of hunting succeed greatly in sandy deserts or in marshy lands (sa-anūpa) in the rainy season and in others with the greatest trouble”.

Anupa or Anupala is one of the exogamous septs (divisions) among the Komatis (a trading caste of the Madras Presidency). Anupa refers to the plant Anupala (Dolichos Lablab). The Komatis are said to have originally lived, and still live in large numbers on the banks of the Godavari river. One of the local names thereof is Gomati or Gomti, and the Sanskrit Gomati would, in Telugu, become corrupted into Komati. The sub-divisions are split up into septs (viz., Anupa), which are of a strictly exogamous character.

Anūpa is the name of a land granted by king Subhikṣa (for the merit and fame of his parents and himself) as recorded in the “Plate of Subhikṣarājadeva” (10th century A.D.). It was situated within the jurisdiction of Varoṣikā-grāma, belonging to Nāhallāka and others measuring nine Droṇavāpas. Anūpa was dedicated to the goddess Nārāyaṇa-bhaṭṭāraka (Nārāyaṇa) who is said to have been installed on the bank of the Viṣṇugaṅgā.

This inscribed copper plate (mentioning Anūpa) is preserved in the temple of Yogabadarī (one of the Pañcabadarī) at Pāṇḍukeśvar (Pāṇḍukeśvara). It records the grant of many pieces of land, situated in the viṣayas (districts) of Ṭaṅgaṇāpura and Antaraṅga made by king Subhikṣa in favour of three deities.
