: academia.edu: A Critical Study of the Vajra岣嵞乲amah膩tantrar膩ja (II)笔墨峁环腻诲颈 (啶啶犩ぞ啶︵た) refers to 鈥済roups of land鈥� and classifies the twenty-four districts or seats.鈥擳he Vajra岣嵞乲atantra deals with three types of sacred districts (诲别艣补 or 办峁迟谤补) or seats (蝉迟丑腻苍补) of deities:鈥擳ype (1): Internal twenty-four seats divided into 辫墨峁环腻诲颈 and tricakra; Type (2): Twenty-four districts divided into twelve groups or six families; Type (3): Another group of twenty-four districts. First, names of twenty-four seats [...] are enumerated and their locations in one鈥檚 body is explained (= head, top of the head, right ear and so on). These seats are classified into ten (辫墨峁环腻诲颈 = ten groups of lands) beginning with 辫墨峁环补 (up to 耻辫补艣尘补艣腻苍补). Then the text declares that twenty-four sacred girls who are called 岣屇乲in墨s reside on these twenty-four internal seats. These 岣屇乲in墨s have the form of arteries (苍腻诲墨)
