Source: SOAS University of London: Protective Rites in the Netra TantraAkālotpanna (अकालोत्पन्न) refers to “out of season (growing of flowers)”, according to the Netratantra of Kṣemarāja: a Śaiva text from the 9th century in which Śiva (Bhairava) teaches Pārvatī topics such as metaphysics, cosmology, and soteriology.—Accordingly, [verse 19.121-128, while describing the prevention of natural disasters]—“[The Mantrin] should [perform] rites and recitations to avert evil and famine, in times of great dangers, [such as] destructive earthquakes, meteors, massive rainfall and drought as well as threats of mice and other pests. He should conduct the ritual when flowers, etc., grow out of season (akālotpanna—akālotpannapuṣpādau), [when images of gods] are lost or break. [...]”.
