अमा सूक्ष्मा परा शक्तिः सा त्वं देवि प्रकीर्तिता । प्रलयोत्पत्तियोगेन स्थिताः कालक्रमोदिताः
amā sūkṣmā parā śaktiḥ sā tvaṃ devi prakīrtitā | pralayotpattiyogena sthitāḥ kālakramoditāḥ
Amā itu halus, suatu Śakti yang tertinggi; dan Śakti itu diproklamasikan sebagai engkau sendiri, wahai Devī. Melalui pertalian antara pralaya (peleburan) dan penciptaan, ukuran-ukuran waktu pun tersusun, muncul menurut tertibnya.
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī
Scene: Īśvara declares Amā to be the subtle supreme Śakti—Devī herself; through the yoga (linkage) of dissolution and creation, time’s measures arise in ordered sequence.
Time’s sequence is a manifestation of Śakti, inseparable from the cosmic cycles of creation and dissolution.
Prabhāsakṣetra, within whose Māhātmya such cosmological teachings are presented as sacred revelation.
None directly; the verse provides the doctrinal basis for honoring tithis and cosmic cycles.
