Essentially, they represent the usual Krama cycle of creation, persistence, and destruction in each of these domains along with Anākhyā that contains them. [...] Within the framework of the Trika Kula elaborated by Abhinava, they are the most complete and perfect representation of the universal activity of consciousness. They are the process that is consciousness (saṃvitkrama), its primary cycle and the Wheel of Energies that contains all other possible cycles and configurations. [...]
