Zenith (Up)

ऊर्ध्वūrdhva

also: up, zenith, above

dir-urdhva

Definition

The upward/zenith direction (ūrdhva) — the vertical 'above' of the ten-direction scheme. In Svoboda's roster the zenith is regented by Brahmā (the Creator, 'where the planets congregate'), with Brahman (the Absolute) as the source of peace, concord and life. Connected with the heavens and spiritual inspiration; north/east/NE are 'upward-trending' toward it.
Traditional

Prāṇa relevance

Svoboda links the upward axis to the celestial/spiritual pole (the heavens, inspiration) versus the downward earthward/appetitive pole; not a direct prāṇa-physiology claim at the direction level. Not yet traced.
