Over The Svayambhu Linga, on the Muladhara Chakra, shines the sleeping Kundalini, fine as the fibre of the lotus stalk.

Like the spiral of the Conchshell, Her shining snake-like form goes three and half times round Shiva, and Her lustre is that of a strong flash of young strong lightning.

Her sweet murmur is like the indistinct hum of love-mad bees.

It is She who maintains all the beings of the word by means of inspiration and expiration and shines in the cavity of the Root (Mula) Lotus (Chakra) like a chain of brilliant light.
