Ū󱹲ٲ (ऊर्ध्वतस�) refers to �(that which is) above� (the uvula), according to the Haṭhapradīpikā 4.100 (Cf. Uttaragīta 41cd-42, Maṇḍalabrāhmaṇopaniṣat 2.5.4-5, Gheraṇḍasaṃhitā 5.82-83ab).—Accordingly, “Because the [nasopharyngeal] cavity above (ū󱹲ٲ) the uvula has been sealed by Khecarī Mudrā, the [Yogin’s] semen is not emitted [even when he] has been embraced by a beautiful woman. So long as his semen remains in his body, then why [would there be] fear of death?�.
