Śivasaṃhitā 5.111
Pañcamaḥ paṭalaḥ — Dhyāna
Sanskrit text
सिद्धः पिनाकी यत्रास्ते काकिनी यत्र देवता । एतस्मिन्सततं ध्यानं हृत्पाथोजे करोति यः ।
Transliteration
siddhaḥ pinākī yatrāste kākinī yatra devatā | etasminsatataṃ dhyānaṃ hṛtpāthoje karoti yaḥ |
Translation
He who always contemplates on the hidden Ajña lotus, atonce destroys all the karmas of his past life, without any opposition.
Commentary
The verse populates the heart lotus (hṛtpāthoja) with two divine presences — the Siddha Pinākī and the goddess Kākinī — transforming it from an anatomical location into a living sanctuary. The meditator who enters this space with sustained attention is said to destroy all accumulated karmas, a claim that places inner contemplation above any external ritual act.
