APĀNTARATAMĀS. 1) General. A Maharṣi (Great Sage). He was born out of the sound 'bhu' uttered by Mahāviṣṇu. The sage is also known as Sārasvata and Apāntaratamas. Because he was absolutely free from inner darkness or ignorance he was called Apāntaratamas. The sage, who was cognizant of the past, the present and the future divided and systematized the Vedas as ordered by Viṣṇu.
