मेनका सहजन्या च रंभा चाप्सरसां वरा । चतुर्विधपदं तालं त्रिप्रकारं लयत्रयम्
menakā sahajanyā ca raṃbhā cāpsarasāṃ varā | caturvidhapadaṃ tālaṃ triprakāraṃ layatrayam
Menakā, Sahajanyā e Rambhā—as mais excelsas entre as Apsaras—dançaram com tāla de quatro passos, em três variedades, e com os três layas.
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.
