- Or state of attainment.
- Elemental power of the breath.
- The third eye of Śivā, within the skull.
- The high-pitched sound produced from a bamboo flute.
- A lute or harp-style instrument with vibrating strings and resonating sound chamber (the Rudra Veena is implied).
- The ten sounds of नादानुसन्धान (nādānusandhāna), as described in the haṃsopaniṣat, are listed in order as follows:
- Ciṇiti (चिणिति): The first sound, described as the high-pitched buzzing sound similar to that of bees.¹
- Ciṇiciṇīti (चिणिचिणीति): The second sound, indicating a further intensified buzzing sound of bees.
- Ghaṇṭānāda (घण्टानाद): The third sound, resembling the ringing of a large bell (from high above).
- Śaṅkhanāda (शङ्खनाद): The fourth sound, akin to the blowing of a conch.
- Tantrīnāda (तन्त्रीनाद): The fifth sound, similar to the playing of a string instrument (the tantrī vīṇā).
- Tālanāda (तालनाद): The sixth sound, reminiscent of (bronze) cymbals being struck together.
- Veṇunāda (वेणुनाद): The seventh sound, comparable to the sound of a flute.
- Bherīnāda (भेरीनाद): The eighth sound, resembling the sound of a drum.
- Mṛdaṅganāda (मृदङ्गनाद): The ninth sound, similar to the sound produced by the two-headed Mṛdaṅga drum.
- Meghanāda (मेघनाद): The tenth sound, akin to the loud rumbling sound of thunder (the “roar of clouds”). N.B. One may also add the chirping sounds of चीरवाकी (cīravākī), the “sounds of a cricket,” which occurs approximately in-between sounds two and three of the haṃsopaniṣat; and also तन्त्रीघोष (tantrīghoṣa), which refers to the “sounds of a zither-stick,” which is the eka-tantrī vīṇā, a tube-zither vīṇā (closely related to the one- stringed alapini vīṇā), which corresponds to (being one and the same as) sound five of the haṃsopaniṣat; and दावनिर्घोष (dāvanirghoṣa), which refers to the “sounds of a forest-fire,” which occurs approximately between sounds nine and ten of the haṃsopaniṣat (see Jayaratha’s commentary Tantrālokaviveka on Abhinavagupta’s Tantrāloka). This carries the राव (rāva) “resonance” of nāda to twelve different distinctive sounds.
- Ciṇi is purely onomatopoeic, likely meant to mimic the high, fine resonance perceived in nāda-yoga.
- बिन्दु (bindu), the point of light perceived in meditation. कुम्भकान्ते रेचकादौ कर्तव्यस् तूड्डीयानकः | बद्धो येन सुषुम्णायां प्राणस् तूड्डीयते यतः || ११८ || kumbhakānte recakādau kartavyas tūḍḍīyānakaḥ | baddho yena suṣumṇāyāṃ prāṇas tūḍḍīyate yataḥ || 118 ||
- To the end of Kumbhaka and to the beginning of exhalation¹, Uḍḍīyana Bandha should be performed. By this practise, the prāṇa² is drawn up into the Suṣumṇā channel.
- During the whole period of Kumbhaka (breath retention).
- Upward moving elemental energy of the breath. तस्माद् उड्डीयाणाख्योऽयं योगिभिः समुदाहृतः | उड्डीयानं तु सहजं गुरुणा कथितं सदा || ११९ ||
