Source: SOAS University of London: Protective Rites in the Netra TantraBhaviṣyajña (भविष्यज्ञ) refers to “knowing the future”, according to the Svacchanda-tantra.—Accordingly, [verse 7.212cd-214ab, while describing the meditation on the kālahaṃsa]—“After [the Yogin] has meditated [on haṃsa] in the right nostril, he obtains the powers of Brahmā. He obtains length of life [and] power equal to [Brahmā]. As a result, he [the Yogin] knows the past. When he [visualizes haṃsa] in the left [nostril], he knows the future (bhaviṣyajña) and is equal in strength to Viṣṇu. The king of Yogins [gains] a life is as long as Viṣṇu's, [and] obtains power [equal to] Viṣṇu’s. [...]”.
