Welcome to my collection of tales from Indian (Hindu) mythology. You will find a cross-referenced set of stories from the epics Ramayana, Mahabharata and the Hindu puranas here. Encyclopedic articles on mythological characters are also available. Start by reading the introduction, or by browsing the table of contents.
As you may have noticed, this collection has not been updated for nearly a year. I have been busy this past year, but you can expect regular updates starting on Jan 1, 2007.

Apam Napat is a deity who appears in both Indian and Persian mythologies. The name literally means "son-of-waters", and is referring to a form of Agni, the God of fire. Since fire sometimes results from a thunder-strike accompanying a downpour, fire is said to be an offspring of water. This deity is celebrated in [R.V.2.35].
