According to the P奴rva艣膩stram, quoted by K峁�emar膩ja岣�, through
this practice the adept obtains a great, invulnerable, subtle body.
After the elements, the text next describes (pp. 41-45) the
meditations on the organs of action and of perception including the
internal perceptive organ, and the sensory media. K峁�emar膩ja岣�
indicates that the procedures, such as the concentrations, seed
syllables, and the like, previously discussed for the elements should
be repeated for this group of planes. 2 Unlike the previous pattern
of concentrations on the elements, which covered the entire body,
however, as K峁�emar膩ja岣� notes, the text here locates the
concentrations in specific parts of the body. 3 In this way, and in
listing specific presiding deities, the text appears to differ from the
procedure described in the P奴rva艣膩stram that localizes only the
concentrations on the sensory media. 4 This discrepancy evidently
accounts for K峁�emar膩ja's use of extensive quotes from the
P奴rva艣膩stram in order to fill out the incomplete statements of the
text on the sensory media, but not on the organs.
According to the pattern sketched by Svacchandatantram,
which often omits a detail for each plane, every organ has a
particularly colored presiding deity located within it. The adept

agreement with K峁�emar膩ja's previous comments, should be read
rather as u.

the repeated pattern of dissolution of the organs and sensory media
into the centers of the elements and through the concentrations
indicated for the elements.
