I bow to that embodiment of ambrosia which is Consciousness and Bliss incarnate. It melts the orb of the moon and drinks (the moon-light). It shines with its profuse lustre inside the suúumná located in the lotus of úaãádhára.

Suúumná : a vein of the body supposed to be one of the passages for the breath.

Úaãádhára : one of the mystical circles in the body.
