Thus the contents of the Hevajra-tantra can often be interpreted in two ways. E.g. the places of pilgrimage (I. vii) refer exoterically to actual sites, but esoterically they are identified within the body of the meditat- ing yogin. Thus the commentaries often give double interpretations, e.g. vol. I, pp. 71-72 fns., 86 fn., vol. II, pp. 103-4, no, 121-2. Be- sides adhyātmika and bāhya, certain other terms are used: aksarārtha, 'literal meaning' in contrast with sampradāyārtha, 'traditional meaning'; neyārthāy 'expected meaning' in contrast with nītārtha 'real meaning'.
