"Smiling like a garland of lightning, bright as a fiber (lotus) in the hearts of the ascetics,<br />

entirely useful, inspiring pure knowledge, happiness made integral, having essentially<br />

pure intellect - the door lights up Brahman21 your mouth (- the mouth of Siva) is the<br />

place that gives access to the stream of nectar, 22 is the essential point site. It is, say, the<br />

mouth of the channel misma23 called susumna (Satcdkranirupana, 1-3, trans. L . Renou).<br />

As we see, it is indeed a "subtle body" and a "mystical philosophy. However, there is<br />

nothing abstract about what we just read, it is not expression of concepts, but from<br />

pictures that express transmundanales experiences. The texts repeated insistence that<br />

among noriniciados, the nadi have become "impure" which are "blocked" and that we<br />

must "purify" the "through asana, pranayama and mudra (HY D, I, 58). The coming and<br />

the Pingala are the two "breaths" and also all the subtle energy body are never simply<br />

"glasses" or<br />

mind that, CAIR or vajrini and citrini. (This note and the six that are per-tt-rl necen text<br />

"channels" physiological organs. According to the Sammohana Tantra (quoted by<br />

Satcakranirupana) round is the Sakti and Pingala is the Purusa.<br />

Other texts tell us that lalana (- way) and Rasario (=- Pingala) respectively transputer as<br />

semen and ovum (Sadhanamala, Hecajra, Tantra and Tantra Herukta cited by Dasgupta,<br />

Introduction to Tantric Buddhism, p. 119). But semen is of the essence of Siva and the<br />

Moon, and blood (usually assimilated to the "cracks of women") is the essence of the<br />

Shakti and the Sun (Goraksasid-dhantasamgraha, cited by Dasgupta, P. 172, No 4). In the<br />

commentary Dohakosa of Kanhu-pada, states that the moon is born of the male seed and<br />

the Sun's ovum (ibid. p. 172, No. 5). Moreover, the most common names for pingala<br />

round, in both hin-dues Tantra and Buddhist, are "sun" and "Moon." The Sammohana<br />

Tantra says the nadi on the left is the "Moon" because of his gentle nature, and that the<br />

right is h.nadi "Sun" because of his strong nature. The Hathayogapradipikalos compare<br />

daily and night, and we will soon see the importance of this temporal symbolism. But do<br />

not forget that round pingala pram and carry apana: now, the first is Rahu (the Asura who<br />

devours the Moon) and the apana is "the fire of Time (Kalagni; comment manuscript in<br />

Dohakota of Kanhu-pada, reproduced by Dasgupta, P. 173, No. 1). Here tenemostma the<br />

Haves of its symbolism through the main "breaths" and "major" subtle channels "can be<br />

broken-Time.<br />

In Buddhist Tantra, susumna corresponds to avadhuti, and this "nerve" is considered the<br />

path of Nirvana. The Sadhanamala says (p. 448): "Lalana (= left) is of the same kind of<br />

Prajna (Gnosis) and Räsänen (- Pingala) is of the nature of the Upaya (Middle): the left in<br />

the middle as avadhuti mahasukha the house of (the Great Bliss). The comments of the<br />

Doha-Kosa avadhuti explain the term as "that destroys all sins through his fiery nature"<br />

(Dasgupta, p. 174).
