The Twelve Liberated Gods and the Nidana Chain Contrasted

Nidana Chain and the Five Skandhas (Buddhism)

Inside the vesica are the dignities of houses 9-12, distributed around a twelvefold circle so that the dignities of house 9 are in the first quadrant, the dignities of house 10 are in the second quadrant, the dignities of house 11 are in the third quadrant, and the dignities of house 12 are in the fourth quadrant. In some contexts, Damiani refers to this configuration of dignities as the “Jupiter ring” or “Demiurgic Intellect ring.”
