Dūtīcakra (दूतीचक्र):—One of the five internal mystic centres (pañcacakra), according to the kubjikāmata-tantra (or, kādiprakaraṇa).
These five cakras follow the general principle of a cakra (inward representation of a maṇḍala, the representation of cosmic creation).
The Dūtīcakra is associated with the gross element Water (apas).
It is composed of goddesses who are called Dūtīs (female messengers’).
It is localized in the body (at some distance above the Devīcakra): in the region of the navel and just above.
The components of the Dūtīcakra are described in relation to the process of creation.
The central deity divides himself into nine male deities who, likewise, become ninefold which results in the creation of eighty-one female deities, the so-called Dūtīs.
They symbolize another component of the sixfold path, namely the padādhvan which consists in this case of eighty-one padas derived from the Navātman.
In addition to this main aspect of their symbolic meaning, each group of nine Dūtīs is also associated with a special ‘field of authority or competence’ (adhikārapada).
