Hence Kalavikaraṇi means ‘free of limbs,’ that is, undivided. Indivisibility is the characteristic feature of ākāśa; therefore this goddess is made to represent ākāśa-tattva. Her lord and corresponding Mūrtiśvara is Bhīma. He is Kalavaraṇa, and his consort is Kalavikaraṇi. - [Previous: v3.c19.197](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.rao-1914.v3.c19.197) - [Next: v3.c19.199](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.rao-1914.v3.c19.199) - [Up: v3.c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.rao-1914.v3.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.rao-1914.v3.c19.198](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.rao-1914.v3.c19.198) · Pramāṇa
