Cakramadhyaga (चक्रमध्यग) refers to the “middle of a circle”, according to the Kularatnoddyota, one of the earliest Kubjikā Tantras.—Accordingly, [while describing the gross form of Navātman called Śabdarāśinavātman]: “(Navātman) has a big body and burns intensely, illumining the sky with (his) radiant energy. [...] He makes boon-bestowing and fear-dispelling gestures and is adorned with a garland of mantras. Possessing supreme bliss, he is in the middle of a circle (cakramadhyaga) of Yoginīs. [...]”.
