Martyamaṇḍala (मर्त्यमण्डल) refers to the “sphere of mortals”, according to Mukunda’s Saṃvartārthaprakāśa.—Accordingly, [while describing the three currents of teachers]: “[...] The best and most excellent current amongst the teachers who are the Currents is the one free of the qualities (of Nature). It is said that the Current of Siddhas is in the netherworld and (is made of) supernatural beings. It is said that the Current of Men is in the sphere of mortals (martyamaṇḍala) and (is made of) human beings. The Divine Current is in heaven and (is made of) the hosts of the gods. That (Current) which is only one appears to be many”.
