Apad (अपद्):—[tatpurusha compound] m. f. n. (-t-t-t) (ved.) Going on a road which does not exist or which is unknown. [In the passage in which this word occurs, Śٲ. Xiv. 8. 15. 10., it is an epithet of gyatrī, which for mystical reasons has been called previously eka貹ī ‘oԱ-ڴǴdzٱ�, dvi貹ī ‘tɴ-ڴǴdzٱ�, tri貹ī ‘three-footed� and catuṣ貹� ‘fdzܰ-ڴǴdzٱ�; Dwivedaganga on the Śٲ貹ٳ󲹲. explains apad ‘because a pada i. e. by what she may be known does not exist�—padyase jñyase yena tatpada� na vidyate yasy� s tvamapadasi—; but according to this gloss apad would be a [bahuvrihi compound], while its accent—the udtta on the first syllable—assigns it to the class of [tatpurusha compound] compounds. The interpretation of Ś԰첹 on the same passage in the Bṛhadr. seems therefore preferable: avidyamna� pada� yena padyase s tvamapadasi ‘thou art apad because thou goest on a road which does not exist or which is unknown�.—In no case can the word mean ‘footless�, for its form would then be a貹ī and its accent the udtta on the penultima.—[bahuvrihi compound] forms like apade, a貹ī &c. belong to the base apd q. v., not to a base apad.] E. a neg. and pad (with an ellipsis of pada).
