To conquer time, goddess Kali occup ies Ian important place in the(JKasbmir's Trika School of Saiva philosophy, Abhinavagupta identifies

Kali' with Para sam vid and asserts that Para Samvid herself is called, K711on account of performing 'the five acts namely :~ (Ksepa) 'ij~1Juana)~;I 'Q'@4I1'Pra sam .khyana)1 'f fd ' (Ga i) and , "i iU~ ( ' jida) in succession, Accord-ing to Paninf the Vetaran Sanskrit grammarian, the word Ka I is deri vedfrom the root ~ (kal) which means ~ (Kalksepe) i.e. 't o ' throw out;' Cb~1ft1t'~'~ (Kala gatau Jfineca) i.e , 'to go or to know, 'ijit1li&!ufi (Ka lasamkhyaneji ..e. 10 count, and.'Cfit1'~ (kala sabde) i.e. to sound, Thus th eword Katr has five meanings ::- (i)What lies 'within externally manifeststhat, (ii) what is so manifested , that marks ,R S identi c.al with itself (iii)marks out th e manifested as separate from one another, (iv) manifests themanifested as related to itself much , in the same manne r as reflection ~s tO Ithe reflecting surface, (v) brings out th e disappearance of al~,that ~smanifested and shines in its true original form as pure self consciousness(Nadanamatra).
