Apas tattva

In yogic philosophy and the broader context of Ayurveda and Indian metaphysics, Apas Tattva (also spelled Apas Tatva or Aapas Tattva) refers to the water element. The term “Apas” means “water” in Sanskrit, and “Tattva” means “principle” or “element.” Apas Tattva is one of the five great elements (Pancha Mahabhutas) that compose the material world.
