v1.c6.s5.47

Filiation, or hypostasis of the female principle, associates Āpa, the Āditya of the north-east, with Āpavatsa. Āpa, in the 'Samarāṅgaṇasūtradhāra' is identified with the Himālaya and Āpavatsa with his daughter Umā. Indra figures as Āditya of the south-west. Indra is also the Lokapāla of the East; placed in the outer border he is there generally called Mahendra, the great Indra; this name however is given to him also as Āditya ('Vāsturājavallabha'). Rudra and Rājayakṣman hold the position of Ādityas in the north-west.
