Pārśvakika (पार्श्वकिक) (or Pārasīka?) is the name of a country (possibly identified with Persia), classified as Hādi (a type of Tantrik division), according to the 13th century Sammoha-tantra (fol. 7).—There are ample evidences to prove that the zone of heterodox Tantras went far beyond the natural limits of India. [...] The zones in the Sammoha-tantra [viz., Pārśvakika] are here fixed according to two different Tantrik modes, known as Kādi and Hādi.
