Vyāptimat (व्याप्तिमत्) refers to the “pervading ones” [?], according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.5.2 (“The Prayer of the gods).—Accordingly, as the Gods eulogized Śiva: “[...] Among the burning ones, you are the fire, among the devotees of Śiva, you are Viṣṇu, among Purāṇas you are Bharata; among the letters of the alphabet you are the letter Ma. Among the Bījamantras you are the Praṇava; among the terrible ones you are poison; among the pervading ones (vyāptimat) you are the firmament [vyomavyaptimatāṃ tvaṃ vai]; among the Ātmans you are the supreme Ātman. [...]”.

context information

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
