īṻ (जालपी�) (or simply Jāla) refers to one of the Pīṭhas (“sacred seats�) where the god unites with the goddess according to the Ambāmatasaṃhitā.—[...] Having descended into a cave in the sacred seat called Jāla, when the goddess fashioned the form beautiful as the moon that women possess, the god also (assumed a bodily form) for the sake of emanation. Thus emanation is said (to have taken place there). They again exercised their authority there for a long time.
