Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric TraditionsSamānabhāva (समानभाव) refers to “being identical”, according to verse 87.140 of the Brahmayāmala-tantra (or Picumata), an early 7th century Śaiva text consisting of twelve-thousand verses.—Accordingly, “One should meditate upon the internal [wheel/cakra] as external, and the external likewise as internal. Considering [these] to be identical (samānabhāva), one should then commence installation [of the mantra-deities] on the cakra”.
