Śivasaṃhitā 5.91

This verse makes a surprising connection: meditation on the root lotus simultaneously activates the Viśuddha and grants complete understanding of the Vedas. The logic follows the suṣumnā: awakening the lowest center activates the central current that impacts all higher centers, with the throat being where wisdom becomes transmissible.

Mūla-padma is the root lotus, svayambhū-liṅgaka uses the affectionate diminutive (ka) indicating closeness and intimacy with the inner divinity. Yogī-rāja is the king or lord of yogis. Viśuddha means «completely purified» (vi = completely, śuddha = pure), suggesting this cakra is the result of accumulated purification from all those below.

Understanding the four Vedas (Ṛg, Sāma, Yajur, Atharva) through meditative practice rather than textual study is a recurring theme in tantric yoga. It reflects the pratyabhijñā (direct recognition) doctrine: the truth of the Vedas is not external but resides in consciousness itself, and the Viśuddha is where that inner truth articulates itself as totalizing understanding.
