Jyēshṭhā, who is jalamayī, is the representative of sthiti. The Mūrtiśvara of jala is Jyēshṭha, and he is the lord of Jyēshṭhādēvi. Raudri represents the śakti of the agni-tattva. The Mūrtiśvara of agni is Paśupati, who is no other than Rudra, the lord of Raudri. Prāṇa is the property of time (kāla); hence Kālī is the śakti presiding over the element vāyu. The Mūrtiśvara of vāyu-tattva is Kāla, and he is the husband of Kālī.
