((サンスクリット:काल), ) ((タミル語:காலம்)kaalam or kaala) is a Sanskrit word which means "Time". the Tamil meaning of kaalam or kaala also refers "Time". It is also the name of a deity in which sense it is not always distinguishable from ' meaning "black". It often used as one of the various names or forms of Yama. ==Etymology== Monier-Williams's widely used Sanskrit-English dictionary〔(Sanskrit, Tamil and Pahlavi Dictionaries )〕 lists two distinct words with the form '. * ' 1 means "black, of a dark colour, dark-blue ..." and has a feminine form ending in ' – ' – as mentioned in 4-1, 42. * ' 2 means "a fixed or right point of time, a space of time, time ... destiny, fate ... death" and has a feminine form (found at the end of compounds) ending in ', as mentioned in the ' '. As a traditional Hindu unit of time, one ''kālá'' corresponds to 144 seconds. According to Monier-Williams, ' 2 is from the verbal root ' "to calculate", while the root of ' 1 is uncertain, though possibly the same. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kāla (time)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
