In this way, O fair-faced one, in the future [i.e., bhaviṣyat], in (the course of) the a eons, great (kalpa) and small (manvantara), the rite (karman) of initiation will be of three types. The rite of initiation in the Kula tradition (āmnāya) will take place during (the various) ages (yuga) and (varies) according to the nature of (each) age, and (will be imparted) through the line (krama) of teachers and disciples by means of insights (vijñāna) (outwardly apparent) as the signs of attainment (pratyaya)”.

Bhaviṣyantī) refers to “that which will happen” [?], according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.21 (“Nārada instructs Pārvatī”).—Accordingly, as Nārada said to Pārvatī: “O goddess, listen to the wonderful efficacy of this formula on hearing which Śiva becomes excessively pleased. This formula is a king of all formulas. It yields all cherished desires, bestows all worldly pleasures and salvation, and appeals much to Śiva. Repeating this formula in accordance with the injunctions you shall propitiate Śiva. He will certainly [i.e., bhaviṣyat] appear before you”.

The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences.

[...] For the further comfort and instruction and protection of his devotees, Viṣṇu Himself will descend and establish a bhāgavata school [sṛṣṭi] in which Vallabhācārya (43) will flourish and attract many disciples (32-46).

[...] For me established in my own glory, there is no past (bhūta), future (bhaviṣyat) or present (vartamāna). [kva bhūtaṃ kva bhaviṣyadvā vartamānamapi kva vā] There is no space or even eternity. [...]”.

Vedanta (वेदान्त, vedānta) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. There are a number of sub-schools of Vedanta, however all of them expound on the basic teaching of the ultimate reality (brahman) and liberation (moksha) of the individual soul (atman).
