"This power is called supreme, subtle, it transcends every norm of behavior. Wrapped around the luminous point (bindu) of the heart, inside she lies sleeping, O Blessed One, in the form of a sleeping serpent and is aware of nothing, O Umā. This Goddess, after having placed the fourteen worlds into her womb together with the moon, the sun and the planets, falls into a state of obfuscation like someone who is clouded by poison. She is awakened by the supreme natural resonance of knowledge, [as she] is shaken, O Excellent One, by that bindu which lies in her womb. In fact, a shaking is produced in the body of Power with an impetuous spiral motion. From penetration, the shining points of energy arise first. Once raised It is the subtle Force (kalā), Kuṇḍalinī. (Tantrasadbhāva)"
