up an is had (opanishad)

[Skt.] In San skrit lit., a name given to a series of treatises of theosophic and philosophic contents. They are of different dates. They exhibit the earliest attempts of the Hindu mind to penetrate into the mysteries of creation and existence. An up an is had is a pa age of more philosophic or theosophic character, an excursus into a higher and freer region of thought, away from the details of the ceremonial and their exposition. Whitney, Amer. Jour. Philol., VII. 1. upas (u'pas), n . [= F. upas , upas , poison; in the Celebes and Philippine Islands ipo or hipo .] 1. The poisonous sap of different trees of the Malayan and Philippine Islands, more or le used for arrow-poison. The upas-antiar is yielded by the antiar or upas-tree. (See def. 2 and antiar .) The upas tieuté , or upas radja , is from the chettik or tjettek, Strychnos Tieuté , one of the strychnine trees. 2. The tree Antiar is toxic aria, one of the largest Javanese trees, having a cylindrical stem 60 or 70 feet high below the branches. Upon incision a poisonous milky juice flows from the trunk, concreting into a gum, which is mixed with the seed of Capsicum frutescens and various aromatic substances to form one kind of arrow-poison. The action of the poison is first purgative and emetic, then narcotic, destroying life by tetanic convulsions. Fable invests this tree with a deadly influence upon whatever comes under its branches. It is true that when the tree is felled or the bark extensively wounded it exhales an effluvium producing cutaneous eruptions; otherwise the upas may be approached and ascended like other trees. See Antiar is and sack -tree. IMG:content-1589.png:[blocks in formation] 3.
