Historical / observe onlyThis dhāraṇā is kept as a classical description to read and understand. It is not practised here, and no practice cues are given. Not led as a practice. The verse concerns sexual experience; this school records it as classical text only and gives no practice cues. Nothing here is an invitation to any sexual activity in a class setting.
Observe only: read and understand this classical description. It is not practised in class.
O Goddess, even without a partner, through the intensity of remembering the joy of love (its kissing, embracing and caressing), there is a flood of delight.
School paraphrase drawing on Jaideva Singh (1979), Christopher Wallis and Bettina Bäumer (as printed in Wallis's concordance); not a quotation.
Commentary
Singh: since the delight arises from memory alone, without a partner, it is evidently inherent within; it is this inner delight, apart from any partner, that one should meditate on to realise the bliss of divine consciousness. Wallis translates the three nouns hesitantly (marking one with a question mark).

A door to practise instead
This dhāraṇā has no direct practice counterpart in the school. If you would like to practise, begin at the first door.
Pain is information. Pause, regress, or exit. Never push through sharp pain.
General practice caution only; not medical advice. Not led as a practice. The verse concerns sexual experience; this school records it as classical text only and gives no practice cues. Nothing here is an invitation to any sexual activity in a class setting. If anything feels distressing (dizziness, agitation, strong emotion), stop, open the eyes and rest attention on the feet and the floor.
