Saṃketasthāna (संकेतस्थान) refers to the “meeting place”, according to the Mahānayaprakāśa verse 2.1-35, while explaining the cycles of the goddesses of consciousness.—Accordingly, “[...] Located in this, the meeting place (saṃketasthāna), the rays of consciousness are clearly visible, due to which this Pīṭhakrama is thereby (experienced). Thus (the Pīṭhakrama) ranges from the Sacrifice which is the (aggregate of) the organs of action (karmendriya) up to the Void and the sequence beginning with ‘exertion’ (udyoga) in the body and externally as (the gross elements) beginning with Earth in due order”.
