In Hinduism

Yoga (school of philosophy)

[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Kulavadhu in Yoga glossary
: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason Birch

ܱū (कुलवधू) refers to the “wife of a good family�, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “The Vedas, [all religious, philosophical, legal, etc.] treatises and the Purāṇas are like common whores. Only Śāmbhavī Mudrā is kept private like the wife of a good family (ܱū). The point of focus is internal, [yet] the gaze is outward and free from closing and opening the eyes. Indeed, this is Śāmbhavī Mudrā, which is hidden in all the Tantras�.
