: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchNivartana (啶ㄠた啶掂ぐ啷嵿い啶�) refers to 鈥渨ithdrawing (the mind)鈥� (into 艢akti), according to the Brahmay膩mala-tantra (or Picumata), an early 6th century 艢aiva text consisting of twelve-thousand verses.鈥擜ccordingly, while describing meditation (诲丑测腻苍补) and 蝉补尘腻诲丑颈: 鈥淸...] Therefore, [the Yogin] should perform meditation on the region in his heart, the navel, 鈥燵...]鈥� [and] Bindu, [then] withdraw (nivartana) his mind into 艢akti. In that way, an absorption [arises] in that no-mind, aspectless and highest state. He meditates in [that no-mind] state until impartiality [arises] in regard to the object of meditation. O goddess, when his [higher] faculty of discernment has become impartial to all the Tattvas, it is here called 蝉补尘腻诲丑颈, distinguished by absorption in those [Tattvas]鈥�.
