If we accept Rigved's description, Aap is also thought to be Mohini, the female incarnation of Lord Vishnu. This seems acceptable as the expansion of this pada expresses itself as Aditi, the Goddess Luxmi. This also supports the Upanishad, when it says Shivashy Hridayam Vishnu, Vishunusya Hridayam Shiva.
