akuy omka:r yus na:bi dare,
kumbày brahma:nDas sôm gare |
akuy maanthàra yus tsètas kare,
tas sa:s manthàra kya:h kare ||
He who carries in his navel the sacred OM,
forming through kumbhaka a bridge to brahmarandhra,
keeping in his consciousness this mantra alone,
what are, to him, a thousand mantras?
Note: Kumbhaka is the yogic practice of retention of the breath. As to "brahmarandhra," I have seen it defined as "the anterior fontanelle of the brain," as the sahasrara (thousand-petaled lotus), which is above the top of the head, and as "near the sahasrara." In any case, it appears to be associated with the "thousand-petaled lotus."
ॐ नमः शिवाय ॐ
