sat

existence (sat)

The existent, what is, as against what is not. In this corpus still a substantivised neuter participle of as- 'to be' and not yet a settled noun: it is predicated of things and asked after, as in the one Being the sages call by many names (RV 1.164.46), and it is not the Upanishadic Being. Distinct from satya 'truth', which is a different stem with its own entity, VG:CONCEPT:SATYA-TRUTH; the two alias sets are disjoint and neither leaks into the other.
