THE DEATH OF THE YOGI AND AFTER,
SKANDHA II., CHAP. 2.
When all desires are controlled by meditation, and the Yogi Is
lost in the contemplation of Vishnu, he sits in proper posture, pressing
his feet against the anus and perseveringly draws the vital air upwards
to the six centres. He draws the air in the navel centre (Manipur) to
the cardiac plexus, thence to the plexus beneath the throat (Visuddha),
thence gradually by intuition to the root of the palate. (Sridhara
Svami calls this last the higher part of Visuddha chakra, and remarks
that the vital air is not displaced from that position. This may be
called the pharyngeal plexus.) Thence he takes the vital air to Ajna
chakra, which is situated between the two eye-brows. Then he controls
the seven holes (the ears, the eyes, the nostrils and the mouth). He
then looks steadily for half a Muhurta, and if he has not a trace of
desire left in him gives up the body and the Indriyps, passes out
through the Brahma-randhra and attains the state of Vishnu.
[It will be noticed above that six plexuses are mentioned other
than the Sacral and the prostatic.
In the death of the desireless Yogi, there is no record of there-
after, for nothing is known beyond our cosmos.]

cosmic state or for the roamings of aerial Siddhas over the whole of
cosmos, in full control of the eight Siddhis, he will then take his Manas
and Indriyas with him. It is said that these Masters of Yoga can
move both inside and outside Triloki, for their Linga Sarira consists
of the atoms of air. The state attained by those that acquire Samadhi
by Upasana, Tapas and Yoga cannot be reached by Vedic Karma.
In space when the Yogi moves towards the Brahma Loka or Satya
Loka, he first goes by means of his Sushumn ?? Nadi to Vaisvanara
or the fire-god for the Sushumna by its light extends beyond the
body. His impurities being all washed away, he goes upwards to
the Sisumara Chakra of Hari (i.e., up to the highest point of Triloki,
as will be explained afterwards). Then crossing that Chakra of
Vishnu, which is the navel of the Universe, he reaches the Mahar
