Strīpuṃyoga (स्त्रीपुंयोग) refers to the “union of man and woman”, according to the Kulakaulinīmata verse 4.71-75.—Accordingly, “(Kuṇḍalinī) bestows (marital) bliss and so is said to be Nityā (the Eternal Woman). [...] O Supreme Goddess! Once cast the Two Drops in the belly, one who is sustained by her, O Gaurī, obtains supreme marital bliss. [...] (As such) she is subtle. I will (now) explain how she is in a gross form. She who is the first (and foremost energy) present in touch and the rest (of the sensations) above and below (at the extremities of the breath) is offered libation by the union of man and woman (strīpuṃyoga). Residing on the plane of the Neuter she is (the one) energy and her form is (made of all the) energies. [...]”.
