(p. 58). Looking to the contents of the Avakahadācakra and the Sarvatobhadracakra, it is crystal clear that both the diagrams are different and the scheme outlined in our text tallies completely with that of the latter. This scheme finds full support from JC also (pp. 86-87).
Thus I repeat once more my conclusion arrived at in the Introduction that Durgadeva is a representative of an altogether different tradition the origin of which lies buried in some ancient and authoritative trend of thought perhaps preserved in the Maranakandikā on which, he plainly admits, he has largely drawn. The author is certainly not a man of insignificance. The Sanicakka, the Nādicakka, the Avakahadācakka ( properly called the Sarvatobhadracakra ), the Ayacakka, the Saracakka, and many other statements to which I have drawn attention at proper places in the Introduction or Notes clearly reveal the author's belonging to a school of thought which is different, in most of the points, from a generally accepted and followed school of thought.
