Hāna (हान) refers to “abandoning” (as opposed to Adāna—‘taking up’), according to the Ciñcinīmatasārasamuccaya verse 7.233cd-236.— Accordingly, “One is established in the sequence of the worship of Kālī that consists of the forceful attainment of the foundation of consciousness, when grasping and rejecting, brought about by the distinction between taking up and abandoning (hāna), has ceased. (Such a one) who knows reality lights up the Sun of Consciousness (even as) he looks (at it). [...]”.
