Worship, study, charity, truth, forbearance, forgiveness, and absence of greed—these eight form the noble path of dharma.
The first four aims of life may be pursued superficially, but the final four can dwell only in the heart of a great soul.
When prāṇa moves through the Iḍā nāḍī, associated with the moon, it is favorable for calm and auspicious actions.
Iḍā, Piṅgalā, and Suṣumṇā are the main nāḍīs in the body, while others like Gāndhārī, Puṣā, and Hastijihvā assist in subtle energy circulation.
These ten nāḍīs—including Alambuṣā, Kūhū, and Śaṅkhinī—are vital for sustaining life through breath and energy.
Iḍā flows from the left nostril, Piṅgalā from the right; Suṣumṇā rises through the palate, leading to the gate of Brahman.
When energy flows through the Iḍā nāḍī linked to earth and water, it favors steady and peaceful endeavors.
Iḍā is the lunar nāḍī—cool and left-sided; Piṅgalā is solar—intense and right-sided. Their balance is vital in yogic practice.
Around this cremation ground, one hears ominous bird cries—symbolizing a barren place where even noble souls find no meaning.
From one side, the peacock cries; from another, Cupid strikes with fierce arrows. The thunderclouds roar—my love, without my lord, I am undone.
