The Sucking up (of fluid) can be denoted by the Sanskrit term Śoṣaṇa, according to the Yogamārgaprakāśikā 145-146b.—Accordingly, “If [the Yogin’s] semen accidentally moves [from his body] and has fallen into [a woman’s] vagina, the sucking up (śoṣaṇa) of both [semen and vaginal fluid] by the Yogin, [results in] him becoming a receptacle of [all] the Siddhis. This Mudrā, [called] Sahajolī, should always be known by Yogins”.
