Śivasaṃhitā 5.76

Kuṇḍalinī’s three and a half coils reappear here in the svādhiṣṭhāna context, recalling that the same energy sleeping in mūlādhāra also envelops the second chakra. This is essential: Kuṇḍalinī does not leave mūlādhāra when the practitioner works with svādhiṣṭhāna; her three-and-a-half-coil wrapping encompasses the entire suṣumnā axis. Practicing higher chakras without having activated the base (mūlādhāra) is, in this tradition, incomplete practice.

The capacity to recite unknown śāstra (aparicita śāstra) as a result of svādhiṣṭhāna meditation points toward the doctrine of unlearned knowledge (ajñāta jñāna): access to information the practitioner has not acquired by ordinary means. In Kashmir Śaivism’s tradition, this is explained as the awakening of the universal karmic memory latent in svādhiṣṭhāna—the chakra of accumulated saṃskāra. When purified, these saṃskāra become sources of knowledge rather than limiting conditionings.

Freedom from diseases (rogamukta) and free movement through the universe (sarvatra vicaraṇa) are practical fruits of svādhiṣṭhāna purification. The second chakra is closely connected to the immune system in modern terms: its balance correlates with organic resistance. Free movement through the universe—also understood metaphorically—reflects the disappearance of existential fear that accompanies the opening of this center.
