The list of twelve vidyā, «sciences», by twelve dhāman, «abodes», begins; it will take seven lines (24–30) and is, in essence, a listing of schools. Without explanation it is a mere set of names. In the Śākta tradition twelve traditions of the śrī-vidyā are counted, each traced to its own seer: lopāmudrā — to Agastya's wife, mānava — to Manu, candra — to the moon, kubera — to the lord of riches, agastya, nandi, skanda, durvāsa, and others. They differ by small changes in the mantra: here a point is removed, there a syllable is transposed.
This list is not theological but genealogical: it speaks not of what is true, but of who received it from whom. Such lists exist in Vaishnava schools too — four sampradāya, each traced to its own seer; their point is the same: to show that the teaching was not invented yesterday and that it has a lineage. It is instructive too how small the differences within the list are: a transposed syllable, a removed point. Traditions usually diverge in the small matters of practice, not in substance — yet they argue over them as though they diverged on the essential thing.
