[...] The previous tradition will possess the mark of the venerable Mīna (Mīnanātha) and the transmission of the sacred seats and that lineage. It will possess the names of the Yoginīs and Siddhas and, along with the trees and creepers, O mother of Kula, there will also be an independent lineage (pṛthaksantāna-bheda)”.
