Rudra’s Wrath at Daksha’s Sacrifice and the Iconography of Kālarūpa through the Zodiac
मृगार्द्धमार्द्रादित्यांशास्त्रयः सौम्यगृहं त्विदम् मिथुनं भुजयोस्तदस्य गगनस्थस्य शूलिनः
mṛgārddhamārdrādityāṃśāstrayaḥ saumyagṛhaṃ tvidam mithunaṃ bhujayostadasya gaganasthasya śūlinaḥ
Ang huling kalahati ng Mṛgaśīrṣa, ang Ārdrā, at ang tatlong bahaging Āditya (ang tatlong nakṣatra ng pangkat na Āditya) ang bumubuo sa bahay na Saumya (pang-Buwan). Ang Mithuna (Gemini) ay iniuugnay sa dalawang bisig ng Panginoong may trishula na nananahan sa kalangitan.

Time-divisions are not merely astronomical; they are sanctified as aspects of the deity. This encourages aligning human action (ritual, vrata, worship) with sacred time, cultivating harmony between microcosm and macrocosm.
Cosmological structuring and divine taxonomy: best placed under Sarga/Pratisarga-style material (world-order and its divine administration).
Placing Mithuna on Śiva’s arms suggests ‘agency’ and ‘action’ (arms) governed by duality/pairedness (Gemini), implying that even polarity and relational life are held within the divine body.
