It is appropriately represented by the Point, which is the Drop (bindu) of seed in the centre of the maṇḍala. In centre of that is the (goddess who is the) Gesture of the Transmission (kramamudrā). It is the Command, which is the teacher in the Three Traditions (oli). (The lineages of) the Eldest, the Middling and the Child along with the divine one (divya), the Transmission of the Skyfarers (khecarakrama)”.
