Other sources, such as the ''[[sadhana]]'' ([[sgrub thabs]]) of the ''[[Queen of Great Bliss]]'' ([[yum bka' bde chen rgyal mo]]) from the ''[[Longchen Nyingthig]] (see [[Tulku Thondup]], 1985), give a different enumeration of these [[twenty-four sacred places]].  They abide on the [[vajra-body]] inherent in every sentient being, which is symbolized here by the body of [[Vajrayogini]].  These twenty-four are divided in three groups:
 
a) Eight celestial abodes (Skt. - ''khagacharya'', Tib. - [[mkha' spyod]]): 1) The crown of the head is [[Jalandhara]], 2) in between the eyebrows is [[Pulliramalaya, 3) the nape is [[Arbuta]], 4) the ''[[urna]]'' (the hair at the center of the forehead) is [[Rameshvara]], 5) the right ear is [[Oddiyana]], 6) the left ear is [[Godavari]], 7) the eyes are [[Devikota]], and 8) the shoulders are [[Malava]].
 
b) Eight earthly abodes (Skt. - ''gocharya'', Tib. - ''[[sa spyod]]'': 9) the throat is [[Lampaka]], 10) the underarms and kidneys are [[Kamarupa]], 11) the two breasts are [[Odra]], 12) the navel is [[Trishanku]], 13) the nose-tip is [[Koshala]], 14) the palate is [[Kalinga]], 15) the heart is both [[Kanchika]] and 16) [[Himalaya]] ([[Himavat]]).
 
c) Eight undergound abodes (Skt. - ''bhugarbha'', Tib. - ''[[sa 'og gi gnas brgyad]]''): 17) the genitals are [[Pretapuri]], 18) the anus is [[Grihadeva]], 19) the thumbs and the big toes are [[Maru]], 20) the thighs are [[Saurashtra]], 21) the calves are [[Suvarnadvipa]], 22) the sixteen other fingers and toes are [[Nagara]], 23) the knees are [[Kulata]], and 24) the ankles are [[Sindhu]].
