in the case of the Da and Ni uttarangam combinations, the Ri and Ga
provide six possible combinations. Each of these can occur with
either of the two Madhyamams to yield a total of twelve possible
purvangams. The twelve purvangam combinations are each called as
chakras. The twelve chakras and the corresponding purvangams are as
follows.

and Veda chakra is the fourth chakra. The following illustrations
