ApamNapat is the lightning form of Agni, the son-of-waters. In Sanskrit, Apam means 'Of the Waters' and Napat means 'son-of'. Thus, Apam Napat is "Son-Of-Waters". He is invoked separately in [R.V.2.35] and incidentally elsewhere. Brilliant and youthful, he shines without fuel in the waters which surround and nourish him. Clothed in lightning, he is golden in form, appearance and color. Standing in the highest place, he always shines with undimmed splendor.
