== Etymology ==
A ( प्रलय), literally "destruction" in Hindi, is a aeonic term meaning "dissolution" in Hindi cosmology.
A Pralaya specifies different periods of time during which a non-activity situation persists, as per different formats or contexts. The word Mahapralaya stands for "Great Dissolution." During each pralaya, the lower ten realms ( are destroyed, while the higher four realms, those being Satya-loka, Tapa-loka, Jana-loka and Mahar-loka, are preserved. During each Mahapralaya, all 14 realms are destroyed.
This event also explains why Pralaya has a instant kill effect for almost all instances of this skill's appearances, as well as why all the common magic skills that target all enemies have the "Maha" prefix in Japanese.
