Adhirohaṇa (अधिरोहण) refers to “ascending” (to the palace), according to Ratnakheṭaśrīnivāsadīkṣita’s Bhāvanāpuruṣottama (1979, p. 100 l. 2).—Accordingly, [as The Kāpālika said to Māyākuṇḍalī]: “Well done, my dear, you are learned. The knowledge of Haṭhayoga is a ladder for ascending (adhirohaṇa) to the palace called Rājayoga. After that, kāyasiddhi may be considered to be in the hand!”.
