FAQs
Temporal order (night’s end, day’s beginning) is presented as a structured emanation from the Creator—suggesting that time, rhythm, and auspicious transitions (like dawn) are not accidental but woven into dharmic cosmology.
Primarily Sarga (primary creation): the generation of cosmic principles/phenomena such as jyotsnā and the ordering of day-night transitions.
Jyotsnā symbolically mediates between opposites (night/day), hinting at a sattvic ‘bridge’ state—an image for liminality where clarity arises as tamas recedes.
