Dmuta
In Mandaeism, a dmuta (Classical Mandaic: ࡃࡌࡅࡕࡀ, lit. 'image') or dmut is a spiritual counterpart or "mirror image" in the World of Light. People, spirits, and places are often considered to have both earthly and heavenly counterparts (dmuta) that can dynamically interact with each other.: 37 A few examples include:
- The heavenly Adam Kasia corresponding to the earthly Adam Pagria
- The heavenly Piriawis (or "Great Jordan") corresponding to earthly yardnas (rivers)
- Abatur Rama ("Lofty Abatur") corresponding to Abatur Muzania ("Abatur of the Scales")
