A CRITICAL TANTRISM

ii. The structure of the Samvara-maQ(.lala

The theory of internal plthas is brought to completion in the Vajraqiika-tantra
which succeeds to the pltha theory of the Samputodbhava-tantra.^53 We would
like to show the latter half of chapter 14 of the Vajra(liika-tantra, the first half of
which corresponds with the last part of kalpa II. prakarm;a I of the Samputodb-
hava-tantra and shows the correspondence between each of twenty-four external
plthas and twenty-four internal plthas:
