The four sections are correspondences, not districts — reading them as places (a northern country, a southern one) misses that the chart is using one square to hold divine forms, Vedas, and human aims at once.

This is one place where the chart layers several systems of meaning on top of one another: divine forms, Vedas, directions, and human goals.
