Resonance is denoted by the Sanskrit term Dhvani, according to the Haṭhapradīpikā 4.100 (Cf. Uttaragīta 41cd-42, Maṇḍalabrāhmaṇopaniṣat 2.5.4-5, Gheraṇḍasaṃhitā 5.82-83ab).—Accordingly, “The mind becomes absorbed in the resonance (dhvani) of the unstruck sound which is perceived [first], [then] the light in the resonance (dhvani) and [then] the mind in the light. It is the supreme state of Viṣṇu.”.
