मेनका सहजन्या च रंभा चाप्सरसां वरा । चतुर्विधपदं तालं त्रिप्रकारं लयत्रयम्
menakā sahajanyā ca raṃbhā cāpsarasāṃ varā | caturvidhapadaṃ tālaṃ triprakāraṃ layatrayam
Menakā, Sahajanyā et Rambhā—les plus éminentes des Apsaras—dansèrent selon un tāla aux quatre pas, en trois modes, et avec les trois laya.
Īśvara (Śiva) (continuing narration)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: Menakā, Sahajanyā, and Rambhā perform a synchronized dance: fourfold footwork patterns marked on the ground like a yantra, while three laya-streams flow as ribbon-like arcs above them.
Devotional celebration includes disciplined rhythm and movement; sacred places inspire worship through multiple arts.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra, whose māhātmya portrays celestial dance and music as part of its divine atmosphere.
No direct prescription; it describes tāla and laya features of the worship-performance.
