The brahmin stopped her standing on her way as she was trying to go away and asked her laughingly”.

In what manner? Whilst engaged in 'the swing of wanton sport (helādola)' that is, whilst churning (mathamāna) (engaged in sexual intercourse) that consists of entering in and (then) coming out (praveśa-nirgamana). [...]”.
2) Praveśa (प्रवेश) or Praveśaka refers to “entry (of the breath)” [as opposed to niṣkāsa—exit], according to the Ṣaṭsāhasrasaṃhitā, an expansion of the Kubjikāmatatantra: the earliest popular and most authoritative Tantra of the Kubjikā cult.—Accordingly, “[...] The (lunar) energies within the first lunar day in the beginning (and those energies of the subsequent days), the waxing and waning (of the moon) and are (all) here. And (here) the lunar days and the rest reach the (supreme) plane (pada). It is said that the entry (of the breath) [i.e., praveśa] is the left and the exit is the right, (corresponding) to the division of the Moon and Sun. One should know that death resides in the exit (of the breath) and that life is in the entry [i.e., praveśa]. Exit and entry are (brought about) by these sixteen parts. He who knows this with effort is a yogi who (truly) knows Yoga”.

If the Sun should change his course before reaching Makara (Capricornus) he will bring evil on the west and south; and if he should do so before reaching Karka (Cancer), he will bring evil on the north and east”.
Jyotisha (ज्योतिष, jyotiṣa or jyotish) refers to ‘astronomy’ or “Vedic astrology” and represents the fifth of the six Vedangas (additional sciences to be studied along with the Vedas).

[The Mantrin] fuses the consciousness of his disciple with the mantra. Then, together with the disciple’s consciousness, [the Mantrin] causes [that consciousness] to enter into his own heart (svahṛd-praveśa), raises it to dvādaśānta, then projects it [back] into the heart of the Śiṣya. Tatsthitam is to be analyzed as that standing (sthāna) [i.e., the Śiṣya’s consciousness brought to rest in the Śiṣya’s heart]”.

[...] Disregarding all duality, he acquires the [true] nature of the Dharma, i.e., entry into non-duality (advaya-praveśa). This entry into non-duality, characteristic of the Dharma, is immense and infinite. This is why he has no loss of wisdom. For various reasons of this kind, the Buddha has no loss of wisdom”.
