Ādhārakrama (आधारक्रम) refers to the “sequence of the foundation”.—In the Tantrasadbhāva we find the geometric shapes related to the energies, or aspects of the one energy, that constitute the Triangle. [...] These three energies are the consorts of the gods Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Maheśvara and manifest as a series of triads. [...] The triads that form the Triangle emanate from the centre. [...] The Kubjikāmatatantra teaches that the consecrated yogi who has received the Command should meditate on the Triangle concentrating on its four parts. Each one gives him particular accomplishments (siddhi), including the magical powers of control and destruction. This is called the Sequence of the Foundation (ādhārakrama).
