मन्वतरं तथा कल्पं महाकल्पं च षोडश । कला विसर्जनी या तु जीवमाश्रित्य वर्तते
manvataraṃ tathā kalpaṃ mahākalpaṃ ca ṣoḍaśa | kalā visarjanī yā tu jīvamāśritya vartate
وهناك أيضًا المَنونتَرات، والكَلبات، والكَلبَة العظمى، وكذلك النظام ذو الستة عشر. أمّا الكالا المسماة «فيسرجني» فهي تعمل متكئةً على الجيفا (النفس الفردية) سندًا لها.
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A cosmic diagram: concentric circles labeled manvantara, kalpa, mahākalpa; at the center a small jīva-flame tethered by a thread to a feminine personification of Kalā, with a gesture of ‘release’ (visarjanī).
Cosmic time-cycles are mirrored in the soul’s journey; time’s ‘releasing’ power governs transition and dissolution at multiple scales.
The Prabhāsa Māhātmya context sacralizes these cosmological teachings as part of the kṣetra’s revelation.
No direct prescription; it provides cosmological grounding for rites aimed at liberation (mokṣa) and release.
