மேனகா, ஸஹஜன்யா, ரம்பா—அப்ஸரஸ்களில் சிறந்தவர்கள்—நான்கு விதப் பதங்களுடன் கூடிய தாளத்தை, மூன்று வகைகளையும், மூன்று லயங்களையும் உடன் (நிகழ்த்தினர்).
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.
