Mshunia Kushta

In Mandaean cosmology, the Mshunia Kushta (Classical Mandaic: ࡌࡔࡅࡍࡉࡀ ࡊࡅࡔࡈࡀ, romanized: Mšunia Kušṭa, lit. 'realm of truth') is a part of the World of Light considered to be the dwelling place of heavenly or ideal counterparts (dmuta).^[1] It is similar to Plato's concept of the hyperuranion, which can be roughly described as a place in heaven where all ideas of real things are collected together.^[2]

The Mshunia Kushta is considered to be the shkina (dwelling) of Anush Uthra.^[3]
