Accordingly, the medinīcakra refers to one of the three divisions of the dharma-puṭa (‘dharma layer’), situated in the Herukamaṇḍala. Pāga is associated with the charnel ground (śmaśāna) named Māraṇa; with the female world-guardian (lokapālinī) named Indrī; with a female serpent (nāginī) and with a female cloud (meghinī).
