literature of the Saivas. The six cakras are: (1) Muladhara at the base
of the spinal cord, (2) Svadhishthana below the navel, (3) Manipura near
the navel, (4) Anahata in the heart, (5) Visuddha at the lower end of
the throat, (6) Ajna between the eyebrows. See Avalon, _Tantric Texts_,

intelligible, in Hinayanist Buddhism.]

received A. Avalon, _The Serpent Power_, from which it appears that the
danger of the process lies in the fact that as Kundalini ascends, the

easy reading.]
