Within the pericarp of the Bajra nerve, bright as the lighting is the philoprogenitive triangular discus of Tripura Devi, Within this discus is the air of the Kandar pa which is capable of passing freely through all the inembers of the body. It is the sovereign lord of animals, is blown like the Banduli flower and glorious like hundreds of millions of suns.
Within it, is the phallus of Shiva, facing west, his body soft like melted gold, embodiment of wisdom and communion, red like a new twig and soft as the beams of the moon. It lives in the sacred city (Kashi) is full of felicity and is round like a whirlpool.
Fine as the string of the stalk of lotus plays above this phallus the charmer of the universe (Kulakundalini) extending to the nectar-flowing fissure of the Brahma nerve. Like the lightning playing in new clouds and the spiral turn of a shell, she rests over the phallus in three and half circles as does the sleeping serpent over the head of Shiva.
This Kulakundilini, resting in the Muladhar Padma hums the bee inebrieted with the nectar of flowers, and by distributing the inspiration and the respiration of animals keeps them alive.
Within the Kulakundilini, subtiler than the subtilest and resplendent as the lightning is Shri Parameshvari
