Shiva samhita chapter IV,1-5

1. First with a strong inspiration fix the mind in the adhar lotus. Then engage in contracting the Yoni, which
is situated in the perineal space.
2. There let him contemplate that the God of love resides in that Brahma Yoni and that he is beautiful like
Bandhuk flower (Pentapetes pheanicia)-- brilliant as tens of millions of suns, and cool as tens of millions of
moons. Above this (Yoni) is a small and subtle flame, whose form is intelligence. Then let him imagine that

a union takes place there between himself and that flame (the Siva and Sakti).
3. (Then imagine that) – There go up through the sushumna vessel, three bodies in their due order (i.e., the
etheric, the astral and the mental bodies). There is emitted in every chakra the nectar, the characteristic of
which is great bliss. Its colour is whitish rosey (pink), full of splendor, showering down in jets the immortal
fluid. Let him drink this wine of immortality which is divine, and then again enter the Kula (i.e., perineal
space.)
Note. While these subtle bodies go up, they drink at every stage this nectar, called Kulamrita.
4. Then let him go again to the Kula through the practice of mantrayoga (i.e., pranayama). This Yoni has
been called by me in the Tantras as equal to life.
5. Again let him be absorbed in that Yoni, where dwells the fire of death – the nature of Shiva, &c. Thus has
been described by me the method of practicing the great Yoni-mudra. From success in its practice, there is
nothing which cannot be accomplished.

Shiva Samhita Chapter II, verses 13-23

13. In the body of man there are 3,500,000 nadis; of them the principal are fourteen;
14-15. Sushumna, Ida, Pingala, Gandhari, Hastijihvika, Kuhu, Saraswati, Pusa, Sankhini, Payaswani, Varuni,
Alumbusa, Vishwodari, and Yasaswani. Among these Ida, Pingala and Sushumna are the chief.
16. Among these three, sushumna alone is the highest and beloved of the Yogis. Other vessels are subordinate
to it in the body.
17. All these principal nadis (vessels) have their mouths downwards, and are like thin threads of lotus. They
are all supported by the vertebral column, and represent the sun, moon and fire.
18. The innermost of these three is chitra; it is my beloved. In that there is the subtlest of all hollows called

Brahmarandhra.
19. Brilliant with five colours, pure, moving in the middle of sushumna, this chitra is the vital part of body and
centre of sushumna.
20. This has been called in the Shastras the Heavenly Way; this is the giver of the joy of immortality; by
contemplating it, the greatYogi destroys all sins.
21. Two digits above the rectum and two digits below the linga (penis) is the adhara lotus, having a dimension
of four digits.
22. In the pericarp of the adhara lotus there is the triangular, beautiful yoni, hidden and kept secret in all the
Tantras.
23. In it is the supreme goddess Kundalini of the form of electricity, in a coil. It has three coils and a half (like
a serpent), and is in the mouth of sushumna.
