बिन्दुं चन्द्रसमुद्भूतमाहृत्य चलितं स्वयम् | अभ्यासाद्वायुना युक्तो योग्यो बिन्धूर्ध्वगो भवेत्

binduṃ candra-samudbhūtam āhṛtya calitaṃ svayam | abhyāsād vāyunā yukto yogyo bindhūrdhvago bhavet

Having attracted the moon-risen bindu that has moved by itself, united with the air through practice, the capable yogi raises the bindu.

This verse returns to the central theme of the elevation of the bindu, summarizing the principles of the three practices (Vajrolī, Sahajolī, Amarolī).Candra-samudbhūtam — arising from the moon — identifies the bindu as lunar essence.In tantric physiology, the white bindu originates from the inner moon (bindu visarga).

Calitaṃ svayam — moved by itself — recognizes that the bindu naturally tends to descend.This is the ordinary condition that yoga seeks to reverse.

Āhṛtya — having attracted — describes the action of the yogi: not to fight the bindu but to attract it, to invite it to ascend.Vāyunā yuktaḥ — united with air — indicates that prāṇa is the vehicle of bindu.By controlling vāyu (air/prāṇa), the yogi directs the bindu.

Abhyāsāt yogyaḥ — able through practice — remember that these skills develop gradually.Bindhūrdhvagaḥ — the bindu going upwards — is the result: the reversal of the natural flow, the conquest of death through the conservation of the vital essence.
