Tṛtīyopadeśaḥ (Mudrā) · Verse 98
अथ सहजोलिः | सहजोलिश्चामरोली वज्रोल्या भेद एकतः | जलं बिन्दुगलद्दग्ध्वा निर्विशेषं समाचरेत्
atha sahajolih | sahjoliś cāmarolī vajrolyā bheda ekataḥ | jalaṃ bindu-galad dagdhvā nirviśeṣaṃ samācaret
Now Sahajolī: Sahajolī and Amarolī are variants of Vajrolī.Having burned the impurity of water and fallen bindu, it should be practiced without distinction.
This verse introduces Sahajolī as a variant of Vajrolī.Bheda ekataḥ — difference of a single type — indicates that Sahajolī, Amarolī and Vajrolī are essentially the same practice with minor technical variations.
Sahajolī derives from sahaja (natural, spontaneous) and olī (elevation).It is considered the most natural or accessible form of these practices, traditionally associated with female practitioners although available to both sexes.
Jalaṃ bindu-galad dagdhvā — having burned away the impurity of fallen water and bindu — refers to a purification ritual.In some traditions, ashes of cow dung or other substances are applied to the body before or after the practice, symbolizing the purification of the water element (associated with sexuality) and any lost bindu.
Nirviśeṣaṃ samācaret — should be practiced without distinction — indicates that all three variants lead to the same result.The practitioner can choose according to his constitution, circumstances or the guidance of the guru.
