Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā / 3.118 She leaves the mouth of suṣumṇā
3.118
Haṭha (हठ) Yoga Pradīpikā (प्रदीपिका)
तेन कुण्डलिनी तस्याः सुषुम्णाया मुखं ध्रुवम् ।
जहाति तस्मात् प्राणोऽयं सुषुम्णां व्रजति स्वतः tena kuṇḍalinī tasyāḥ suṣumṇāyā mukhaṃ dhruvam |
jahāti tasmāt prāṇo'yaṃ suṣumṇāṃ vrajati svataḥ
The line
By that, kuṇḍalinī (कुण्डलिनी) surely leaves the mouth of her suṣumṇā (सुषुम्णा). Therefore this prāṇa (प्राण) goes into the suṣumṇā (सुषुम्णा) of itself.
नेपालीमा
त्यसबाट कुण्डलिनी निश्चय नै आफ्नो सुषुम्णाको मुख छाड्छिन्। त्यसैले यो प्राण आफैँ सुषुम्णाभित्र जान्छ।
Where it sits
The mouth that was covered at 3.106 is the mouth she leaves.
