A note on this entry

Planet, zodiac and frequency are modern Western/Theosophical correspondences added to the chakra system rather than traditional; frequency values are the modern solfeggio series (Puleo/Horowitz, 1970s). Sanskrit name, location, element, bija mantra and petal count are traditional.
