Rudra_granthivibhedini : Severing the knot called Rudragranthi.

 

The two Rudragranthis are in the AnAthata centre of the heart. In

practice the order is reverse.

 

or there are four parts [Khandas] in the SrividyAmantra called

respectively, Agni, SUrya, Soma and CandrakalA, also called

VAgbhava, KamarAja, Sakti and Turiya [kUtas]. Among these four there

are three hrllekhAs [hrims] these are called "knots" and named

respectively, Brahma, Visnu and Rudra-granthis. Severing means

penetrating into.

 

Really speaking these six [cakras] signify the roots or origins [of

the universe] as said in the fourth chapter of the DattAtreya-

samhitA. "MUlAdhAra and the other five cakras are together called

Kula; there are three knots among them, these three are called Devi-

cakras. The earth [and water] cakras are indicated by the

Brahmagranthi. The next two powerful and shinnning cakras are fire

and sunl these two are indicated by the Vishnugranth; this shinning

one confers all the siddhis. The next two cakras in the form of air

and ether are indicated by the Rudragranthi, the seat of mighty

benefits."
